New boats first run on my own

Headed out about 6 kms from bunno for a night fish on my own for pinks.

Perfect weather to test things out with the new motor and tub and things started well. As i anchored a school of Southern bluefin tuna appeared out of nowhere. So in a panic i chucked a stickbait on the only road which had a swivel ready to go my 2500 stradic and 2-4 raider and hooked up into a sold fish which gave the gear a work out.

Good start but things failed to happen on the pinks, sunset came and went and a cloud of skippy lived under the boat. But besides the tonnes of PJ's and banjons nothing happened till I got a screaming run at about 8.30.

Fantastic I thought! Finally a pink but unfortunately after a 10 minuted battle up pops a 10 odd Kg sambo :(

Thats it really headed in about 9.45 and managed to retrieve etc on my own with out any problems. Not the worst day out just gotta get the pink things before the ban!

Tub looks good getting an idea of how it handles and fuel consumption. The new 40 Yamaha seems to get around 2 to 2.5 Km per Lt. Keen to try it out down Walpole way if weather permits.

Nice work goodie. 4 strokes you can't go wrong for fuel consumption. I get 1.5-1.6km out of my 250hp...unreal compared to the old smokey 2 stroke.
