Yeah was going to take sum pics today but didn't called it a early day just after lunch.
Pulled a muscle in my back last week & have been taking it easy.

Even cancelled yesterday's fushing trip didn't want to aggrevate the muscle, so looks like wednesday is the next decent day out there

All because I opted it was to risky trying to flip her upsy downsy in the confined space that I have & had to work bent over virtually all day long for a few days that's wot pulled the muscle.

Having said that boat has progressed heeps all the welding has been done console/centre cab is virtually complete another 1/2 day & it's all doneall that's left after that is fiddly stuff like rod holders, bolards rails etc & she's ready for paint.

If the axles arrive in the meantime I'll put a hold on the boat & finish off the trailer so it can get registered that way I can slip it under the boat out of the way

Ange,


The pics so far look terrific and you certainly should be proud with your handywork.
I cannot wait to see the next lot of pics and the best part will be to see the proud owner launch his pride and joy.

How does one man have so much talent

Like I said just wasn't in the mood to take pics 2day opted to come home & lay in the spa instead seems to relax the back

Centre cab is nearly completeso it'll be out with the vacume cleaner 2morro a tidy up then I'll take some pics,

Layout on this boat is a bit unusual & will differ a bit on my wun but each is layed out to suit the owner, surprisingly there's a heap of room in these boats with a bit of thought gone into storage as well.

I've come up with quite a few new design options as well & can see myself using my wittle goaty alot more than the 7 odd meter wun.

Templates have been made for all the hole cutouts re gauges binacles etc all the components have been cut for the next 2 goaty's so if ewe blink you'll miss their builds

Posted by: catchnrelease Jul 12 2009, 08:00 AM

What's with this boat building nonsense? Wasn't the whole point of building a new goat to get into the fishies?

Posted by: Fed Jul 12 2009, 11:18 PM

He's lost his fishing MOJO Catch.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 13 2009, 02:31 AM

Well wun may ask the same Q of ewe !

How many outfits do ewe have now ???????

We all know ewe started with the Borat

I've been told you've upgraded to the latest fad & got yourself a Bruno



Wot Gives ???????

Posted by: Fed Jul 14 2009, 01:50 AM

The boat's really taking shape now Jumpy, did you make the fuel tank condensation proof?
Looks to be plenty of space to walk around the consol, a little bit wider and it could be a centre cab.
Finalised out a motor for this one yet?

Posted by: bafoo Jul 14 2009, 03:06 AM

Had a look at the new pics mate and now I cant get my stiffy down,.........Might have to go and cuddle the wife.....I mean beg the wife.



Top workmanship as always.



Bafoo.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 15 2009, 12:18 AM

Well Marcel I owe it all to a velly velly good friend of mine called Mal McLassie, dosen't catch to many wittle fishy's but knows a thing or 2 about boat building

ps] you'll have to ask Jedsta wot that means



Pics tell lies Federick it is a centre cab & you've no idea how much room is in these goaty's they boast a 2.2 meter beam

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 15 2009, 01:48 PM

Didn't think you would ever resort to this jumpus... Very disappointed.. Bloody name dropper
Mr Al McGlashon will be horrified

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 16 2009, 01:45 AM

Well I tried getting a price check 1st Bees

But ewe can never find a good CHECK OUT CHICK when ewe need wun

Posted by: bafoo Jul 16 2009, 02:58 AM

Hey I have heard of this alison MGLASSY GUY........... WHERE DOES HE FIT INTO THE SCHEME OF THINGS??????? and what secrets does the Jedsta keep close to his ginja ninja chest hairs.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 16 2009, 03:13 AM

Buggered if I know wot Bees is on about !

Think my Boofy Woofy poo'd in his shoe & Bees got high on it

My mate is called Mal McLassie & I dont know who this Mr Al McGlashon ewe guys are talking about is ??????????????????

I was quite pleased 2day just the rails to go & boat is ready for prep work & paint, axles arrived 2day so now I can finish off the trailer

Prob get sum more pics up by the weekend

Posted by: Fed Jul 16 2009, 03:10 PM

Is it an imaginary centrecab, I just can't see it so I guess I'm lacking in imagination.
Looking forward to future pics.
What's in front of the vertical rod holders?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 17 2009, 12:53 AM

Pic even gave me a wrong impression as well pics are velly decieving , it's a very roomy boat for it's size

Guess you'll have to wait for some decent pics if it's possioble to take any I'm limited for space & angles to take them from unlike the other project

Centre cab runs virtually all the way to the anchor well I allowed 300 mm walk around space there nowthe remaining cab drops down in hight [front of rod rack] think 400 mm high.

2 storage compartments built in with hinged doors, this serves dual purpose both as seating & casting platforn when SP'n

Posted by: nimrod Jul 21 2009, 01:15 AM

Jumpy. Just check to ensure the spare wheel on the new trailer does not interfere with the release paul on the winch, unless you are putting electric winches on them.

Not trying to be smart or critical or anything like that, just trying to offer some advise.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 21 2009, 01:22 AM

All done & all sweet frank.

That's why I wanted the trailer back under the boat 1st to check everything out properly, cause on the big boat there was no place wotsoever to mount a spare wheel bracket,

This time I learnt not to make the winch post till boat was positioned correctly on the trailer

Posted by: Christos Jul 22 2009, 01:45 AM

Looking very nice.

The boat and trailer not you jumpy.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 22 2009, 02:04 AM

Have to admit Christos !

You've inspired the 1st goaty's name

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 22 2009, 02:22 PM

Awsome trailer Jumpus. I'm going to call it Wings...

Love your inspiration for the fisrt boat name... Christos wouldn't of seen that coming

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 23 2009, 01:27 AM

Is that your poor way of deflecting wot ewe really want to call it ????????

Libra

With added side protection WATTO more could wun want

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 23 2009, 01:35 AM

Oh yeah !

Hull all painted up went overtime into the darkness

Gunna have to wait till the morn to see if I got any title waves

Then it's the day off cause I'm going fushing

Amate popped around 2day they fushed browns on mun day the day after sun day brurry irriots bottom bounce 4 blue eye only got wun 15 kg model cause they couldn't get baits past gemfishy's.

Had to laugh cause they tripped the circuit breaker twice on the electric reel

A mako of about 150 kg et the hooked gemmy's the reel was spinning in reversing mode @ 100 mph

Posted by: jack Jul 23 2009, 10:23 PM

Will he have made it out to sea today....or will he have gotten side tracked again...?

If he went out, will he have found is MOJO again? (It was last seen swimming 150nm off the central coast)

suspense......

thanks for the troll post before this one...I had almost forgotten about world of warcraft.


Jack

PS: Anyone know a good bathroom renovation outfit in the sutherland shire area? Bought a house and need the bathroom freshened up.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 24 2009, 02:30 AM

Yep went for a fush

Caught Jack sugar as well

Not worth a report can verify the MOJO is still on walkabout

Did have a school of Alblies hit all baits on dusk & missed every wun of them

Bitch of a trip out with sum huge swells, it calm down on the way in & could sit on 25 knots all the way home

Water looked great, not a bad drift either just no fishys

Posted by: Fed Jul 24 2009, 03:32 AM

Someone must have fished it out because I saw it for sale on ebay, I thought about it for a couple of hours then went back to make an offer and it was withdrawn from sale.
The "buy it now" price was $29.95, overpriced but I still could have made a tidy profit selling back to Jumpy.
The missing Jumpy MOJO is still at large.

Suspense.......

Posted by: jack Jul 24 2009, 04:29 AM

Jumpus

last year you build rods like a man possessed and caught heaps of fish...
this year you are building boats like a man possessed and we all know how that is affecting your MOJO.....

Now go back to your rod building gear and start rolling us some spin sticks, that'll help you catch some fish.

Jack

Posted by: catchnrelease Jul 24 2009, 06:32 AM

I got word that there were small BFT of around 30-40kg crawling around Brown's, but that was before those few days of sh*t weather. Don't know whether they've moved on by now or not.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 24 2009, 02:10 PM

Yeah seems the new boat has got a curse on it dosen't it only wun YFT to hit the deck all yeah.

But I'll tell ewe wot it's a hell of a boat to be out there in cracked my head yesterday coming off a swell around 4 meters we were airbourne no such prob for salty he still had 5 foot of head space

Salty hasn't been able to get on the site so I'll let ewes know the wittle Jelly Bean has been doing quite well fushing for snapper with fush to 4 kg

As far as the MOJO goes ???

Well there has not been a trip out where I haven't found the fush every trip has seen sum action of sorts different story hooking & landing them having said that cant say I've put the effort in this season & I've spent way to much time with that bloody Stella reel thingy trying to pop a fushy up I've decided it's not coming out again.

Like I said water looked great out there yesterday nicest colour I'd seen for a while 18 .3 degrees fush should've been there only thing against us was a east to west drift




Very rare I'll fush Browns, but I can verify 3 SBT were taken on the canyons last monday biggest going 75 kg

Posted by: kkw Jul 24 2009, 02:44 PM

Jack.
Fred Rose bathroom renos did mine and did a great job. Prices were amongst the best I got at the time, as well.

Posted by: salty fil Jul 25 2009, 03:17 AM

This has got to be one of the better tinnys ive seen fellas.
A decent looking rig that does look much bigger than what it is.
Basically a mini-me of the big one.

Are you going to go with traditional colours with these boats Jumpy, or you sticking with the head-turning theme?
I hope you make these little fellas stand out like the big fella!

Posted by: Christos Jul 25 2009, 04:40 PM

That is great news Jack.

Sorry I am not able to recommend any one to help in the bathroom, if it is not major you might be able to do it your self?

Posted by: poly Jul 25 2009, 10:18 PM

a question if i may, J.G. when building the next two boats will there any changes to the design, no sorry wrong word, more like in the way you lay out the the boat, plus will you be adding a T top or even a hard top.

Paul

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 26 2009, 01:47 PM

Not really in the mood to answer any Q's poly
Been as crook as a dog all weekend bad case of fever & I forced myself out of bedthis morn cause my body is sore from lying down

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 28 2009, 05:44 PM

Hurry up and get better then... the rest of aren't fishing atm, so we have nothing to talk about

Posted by: Christos Jul 29 2009, 01:31 AM

Rubbish we are guys.

Always something to chat about. Try this one http://www.fishingozstyle.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=1857

Posted by: poly Jul 31 2009, 12:31 AM

I do hope you are feeling better soon J.G. as I watch this build, sometimes I think perhaps it is time to return to the dark side, the only thing is the center cab leaves me cold, i have seen it on a lot of u.s. made boats and it looks like a great big wast of space to me, the old fashion 1/4 cab would make a lot more room for the stowing ones gear, now I do know that you have though this throw and have decided on this design for a reason, I would think the main one being all round access while fishing are there any others ?????????

Paul

Posted by: Fed Jul 31 2009, 02:25 PM

I have a quarter cab or cuddy cab Poly and the usable storage space up front is pretty limited.
I spent a lot of years fishing from a boat with no canopy or side curtains and I can tell you it's no fun whatsoever.
Upgrade mate, think of the money you could save in toupe glue.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 31 2009, 03:24 PM

Geting there poly think as ewe get older the brurry flu gets ewe worse every year

I have been getting an hour or 2 work in daily but dont want to push it soon as I feel rundown I call it a day



Think you're forgetting wun thing ???????

This boat is only a secondary vessel to play around in the bays etc, ewe cant toss lures around from a hardtop as effectively nor can ewe mount a lecky & operate it effectively.

The way I've designed these centre cabs ewe can do all that with the front portion of rhe cab acting as a casting platform with alot of good storage space underneath, not in my case cause I dont like overcrowding boats but the front section is a walkabout with the platform also acting as seating

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 4 2009, 12:33 AM

Someone delivered this little baby to work yesterday I just need somewhere to mount it...

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 4 2009, 12:44 AM

Paul was supposed to have delivered it here THAT's my new BLACK ANCHOR for my BIB GOAT

BLOODY MERCURY CRAP that's all they're GooDarus 4

Nearly ready to give the 1st goaty colour, mounted fuel tank in toaday finished the console, pre mounted just about everything else to make sure it all fits [ lights, pumps ect]

Just need a bit of prep work & the inside can get sprayed

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 4 2009, 01:46 AM

Trailer will be done this week Jumpy

Posted by: Fed Aug 4 2009, 01:01 PM

How about some details on the Merc Bees?
And some trailer pics on whatever you're doing to it.
(BTW, Mercs are so good that Yamahaha copied them. LOL!)

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 4 2009, 01:39 PM

Get your facts right Fed

Mercs are made from infirior Yammy parts the 2 Co's are in court cause Yammy gave them an infirior motor

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 4 2009, 02:32 PM

It's a 90hp 4 stroke. Super seeded model, but still brand new. So i got it at a reduced rate.

Now that i have bought a motor, i have an opinion on the subject...

I think this industry is full of propaganda... They all give you flashy books, giving you percentages on different types of performances, noise, emissions etc, but they all claim to be the best

Buying a brand new anything, with warrantee, at a price I'm happy with, will give me years of comfortable boating with reliability.. Plus black is much bigger than the other colours

Fed, I'm just sandblasting and putting a little paint on the trailer for Jumpy... The man is running out of room out his way and the council keep trying to perform a Citizen's arrest on his Arse Just giving him a bit of a hand, but it's like extracting teeth.... He dont like help i might have to change the word to assistance??? That may confuse Jumpy for a while

Posted by: Fed Aug 4 2009, 03:19 PM

Black is faster than the other colours too.

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 4 2009, 05:11 PM

Thought red was the fastest, I might paint it...

Posted by: Fed Aug 4 2009, 10:59 PM

How big is the fuel tank Jumpy?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 4 2009, 11:53 PM

Not sure Fed

A GooDarus guess will have it holding around 120 litres

With the economy of 4 bangers these days that's more than enough

here is a couple of pics of the trailer just painted. Jumpy wanted it white, but we thought Pink was more daring

Posted by: poly Aug 5 2009, 11:45 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'm feeling sorry for the ranger that try's that, J.G. will have the law down pat by now, and give a real bad time to he or she who thinks they must be obeyed, what say you Jumpus.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 6 2009, 12:46 AM

Me Tinks Bees has been hanging around Oxford St a bit to much lately

Ranger in the area is an OK bloke, you'll allways get arseholes in every street like the bitch down the bottom of the street who complained to council about all the boats in the street after I had a run in with her wun night.

The street is a no through road with a turning bay down the bottom, I got stuck wun night cause sum f***wit had parked there after a door knock we were unable to locate the owner & I had the shits by now, no choice it took me about 30 or so forward/reversre moves to get clear which included driving up onto a garden.

This bitch came out & strated winging, I told her to go away cause she was starting to piss me off & the garden did not belong to her, nothing elligal about the 5 or so boats in the street exept they were all facing the wrong way, Ranger had to attend & get all who owned a goat to have them face the other way but told me I can put my big wun back the way it was after a month or so & if there was any other complaint he'd come see me 1st again.

There's also a miserable silly old prick across the road who winges about anything & everything every wun in the street hates the fool, he had the hide to try & orchestate a partition to stop me from building the goats.

Everywun refused to sign & told him to get f***ed he even went to the next street where the mayor lives again he got zero signaturesinstead alot of those peeps came & told me wot he was up to & boy didn't I give him a serving, thought the old prick was going to shit his pants

I'm fully in my rights to build the boats as long as I dont start noise B4 7 am or after 5 pm

Cant find my crayons bafoo

Posted by: Christos Aug 6 2009, 01:32 AM

Must love you.




Bugger I missed that, last time I was there. I guess he complaint about my little car?



Never came to my house. I guess I live too far away?

Stop teasing me Bees with those little pink bits of yours.

I just thought that Pink went well with the wings mate!! My mistake.... I will change the colour for you a.s.a.p.

Marcel, i dont think that you need me to supply the glow sticks... you would have a box of them in a cupboard somewhere.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 6 2009, 09:57 PM

Yeah well I heard from a GooDarus source that after all the quality time you've been spending @ Oxford St

You're going to name your next boat BRUNO

Look on the bright side Bees ?????

It'll rival Christos's dream boat Big Red

Did take some pics today when I get around to it I'll go outside & get the camera from the car

I can see bafoo getting a or

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 7 2009, 12:56 AM

IMO it it looking great Jumpy. If Bafoo sees this tonight, i think he will be poking something into me at soccer tomorrow

1 thing i think needs to happen is grey glass for the windscreen... Trust me on this one, it will look good

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 7 2009, 01:05 AM

So ewe & marcel will be playing

Hide The Sausage

2morro instead of kick the soccer balls

Know that im shooting blanks I will be the one that GIVETH and you can TAKEITH

On a selious note, you guys have satisfied my hunger with the up dated pics.
Looking the goods as always.




Bafoo.

Posted by: Fed Aug 7 2009, 01:15 PM

Gotta love the noise abatement you installed for your next door neighbours.

Stick with the clear screen mate, but you already know that and I'm only saying it to help convince Bees.

What were the cockups. curious minds you know?

Bilge pumps, I think I might have to get one depending on how the rules are interpreted, what do you think?
Noticed (I think) you had a manual one installed on the big boat and I was thinking of maybe going the the same way.
Obviously bigger is better but how many GPH do you think is enough?

Did you put any floatation in this one?

PS: It still looks like a centre consol to me, guess we have different ideas on what a centrecab looks like.

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 8 2009, 03:32 AM

Why Fed? They look good

Posted by: Fed Aug 8 2009, 02:32 PM

Tinted is harder to see through as soon as they get a bit of salt spray on them.
I fished for a lot of years out of a Quinny with a tinted screen and it was a real pain.

Posted by: Fed Aug 8 2009, 02:50 PM

With a 120 Litre tank it should run all day on a 90HP 4 banger, I go from Revesby to the heads and run around the Bay for about 30 Litres with my 90HP old tech 2 stroke, that's got to be close to 50 Miles.

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 8 2009, 04:37 PM

Tinted Glass or Perspex Fed? Massive difference...

Had a look at the glass charts, and you have a point. 87% visibilty for clear and 42% for Grey... But Green is at 79% (hardly noticable) Green would look good against white or black

Posted by: Fed Aug 8 2009, 09:24 PM

That's perspex Bees but I can't see how it would be any different for glass when considering the same amount of tint.
IE, apples for apples.
I agree the tinted screens look great but it comes at a vision cost.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 9 2009, 01:33 AM

I'm afraid Fed is correct Bees

Tinted is out of the Q

Hard enough seeing through clear glass @ night let alone tinted

Posted by: salty fil Aug 9 2009, 02:38 AM

Colour Jump?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 9 2009, 04:48 AM

Clear

Like Wonder Womans invisible Plane

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 9 2009, 03:27 PM

Dont be afraid Jumpy.. Its only glass

I didn't write my post properly. I asked the question and the jumped onto a glass site i use... Then answered my own question on the Grey.... hence the percentages i typed in...

But, what about green???????

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 10 2009, 12:19 AM

Does Wonder Woman have a Green Plane ???

I'm knackered again

Colour on goat just a thin dust coat on the outer skins inside all done finish it off 2morro

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 10 2009, 01:38 AM

Got some paint on the trailer today as well Tried to upload a photo, but something is wrong... I'm off to a meeting so I'll do it tomorrow

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 11 2009, 01:29 AM

Me Tinks ewe velly Con Fucious yourself ??

Used 2B a trailer till ewe transformed it into a Float for the Up & Coming Mardi

Must be all that quality time your spending on Oxford St

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 12 2009, 01:38 AM

Not for noise it's to keep dust & overspray out of next door



Not Telling



Silly not to have them, Im running 1500 Rules in these goaty's dont really like the cheaper pumps they use non tinned wiring & that's where they stuff up



Yep !

Like on the big goaty I went overboard

By law it was not required on the Jumpus GooDarus but is on the smaller goats & has to be stamped on the builders plate

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 12 2009, 05:13 PM

Jumpy made me paint the thing a colour that he found more pleasing to the eye

I still think Mardi-gras pink was a nice touch though

Posted by: Christos Aug 13 2009, 01:07 AM

Is it not for the eye of the beholder.

Posted by: Fed Aug 13 2009, 03:30 PM

That shiny piece of boat is nothing but a Jumpy tease.

Posted by: poly Aug 14 2009, 12:48 AM

no he just forgot to check the view finder before he took the photo Fed, and we all know one of us would have spotted it had he not said something.

Paul

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 14 2009, 01:13 AM

Knackered again

Big day but @ least all the painting is now done

Took me a full day to mask up all the striping & artwork & the sun was going down just as I'd finished

Didn't want to paint in the morn so I set up floodlight painting only took 1/2 hr but geez there's sum work masking up

Posted by: Fed Aug 15 2009, 12:30 PM

Just took a look at your latest build pictures Jumpy, you've left me gob smacked as usual.
I'd give my left knacker to have one tenth of your energy, well done.

Posted by: kkw Aug 15 2009, 02:45 PM

That'd make you 'no nuts'. Didn't you already give your right one to gumballs, so she would marry you?

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 15 2009, 02:57 PM

Hey, that was my colour for the sides I'll have to think of something else Thought you were talking Braun????

Mate, it looks great. I even have some movement downstairs

Posted by: storms72 Aug 15 2009, 10:22 PM

Great work JG, hope it all goes fine for you till its done.

Just a quickie, for my rod holders I use my baitcaster on I had to drill a large hole in them to take the trigger grip on my rod, do the rods that will be going in them have triggers on them?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 16 2009, 02:37 AM

Ewe need to get sum of these into ewe Fed



They pack 3 Gorilla's into evlly bottle

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 16 2009, 02:44 AM

Tell ewe wot Bees

Wasn't sure of the silver/grey main colour but it really does look awesome with the Black

Goat is now all wired up, had visitors over from Sth Oz so twas an early day & late BBQ

all that's left now is the steering in the morn & the carpet

Should do a full photo shoot 2morro

Guess I want the poofy trailer/float back now so I can wire it up & get it registered cause I'll take the goat down to Sea Sea for the motor buggered if I'm going to try & lift it on, besides I wont be able to get it past the goat not enough room

And yep I'm still going with the Braun colour scheme on mine but come up with a different garfushy this time, allready cutout the stencils

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 16 2009, 02:49 AM

I dont use pistol grips exwpt when lure casting & dont need rod holders for that

I saw similar rod holders on a fishing show & kinda aped them.

Wot I did on these was weld a piece of 25 mm solid round as the base I them drilled down the centre & taped the hole to a M 10 thread, a bolt will screw up into that thread & that's wot will give a 360 degree rotation unlike the wuns on that show which were fixed

Posted by: storms72 Aug 16 2009, 04:41 AM

No worries JG, thoiught you would have it sorted.

Posted by: Fed Aug 17 2009, 03:59 PM

Have you made up the sets of colour co-ordinated rods yet?
Two sets would be nice with three rods in each set, 2Kg, 4Kg & 6Kg.
Black blanks with silver bindings would look good.
You could do it in your spare time easy.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 18 2009, 01:49 AM

Think I'll be giving the rod building a miss from now on

The new range of rods from viva look grand

ONCE AGAIN SENSATIONAL.




BAFOO.

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 18 2009, 02:45 AM

Yes Jumpus... He had a 5 1/2hr round trip to Kirribilli. It was that slow i thought you were driving the truck He rings me on the way to your place and asks me what your address is again Not good at all


The Viva boat looks great by the way. Very, very nice...

Posted by: flattie_hunter Aug 18 2009, 04:00 AM

yes well done mate, its coming up really good i like it lots

Posted by: Christos Aug 18 2009, 11:18 PM

Looking good on the boat.

Posted by: Fed Aug 20 2009, 01:56 PM

No brakes on the trailer mate, what gives?
They right angle fuel fitting on the water separators, did you use any thread sealing tape or goop on them or are they screwed in dry into the taper. I'm remembering the problem Hank had trying to get his to line up on the right angle but you have got them both where you want them. I think you were probably holding your mouth just right when you tightened them up.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 20 2009, 11:19 PM

No need 4 brakes weight of boat is well under requirements

Amazing how velly wittle Alloy weighs, trailer only weighed 280 kg over the weighbridge & it's all made of 6 mm thick alloy think Bees said he weighed the frame itself @ 200 kg so there's 80 kg of axles & fittings

I'm pooped & did nut tings today, boys came over & we got the trailer & goat registered so sum time 2morro I'll slip goat on trailer cause 1st ting monday morn It's off to get the motor bolted on.

I've prob got a day or so tidying up & she hits the water & I get rid of her.

Also took the boys shopping for a sounder & they favour Kungy Fushing so I've got to mount the new down rigger

Nope no tape just a smear of STAG thread sealer



He's not Jumpus

Jumpus knows wot he's doing & that's why he pissed me off he'd pick my brains for info then ignore it & rave on how he did this & did that

The guy was full of SHIT

I can understand why as well, he's such a tight arse all that shit has to accumilate sum where & he lets it out through his mouth

Posted by: poly Aug 21 2009, 02:26 AM

J.G. could the boys got one at a better price from china ARE the Chines making them ????????????

when we think about this, the boat may make a great test bed for new gear coming from china, that's if the people at viva wish to

Paul

Posted by: Fed Aug 21 2009, 04:53 AM

If you get a chance you should slip the whole rig over a weighbridge just to see.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 21 2009, 01:52 PM

Um !

In general yes they could've got the boat built in china for a hell of alot cheaper than getting wun built here

Chi Nee are hopeless @ designing etc but they are great copy cats

BUT !

The cost of these 3 goaty's has amazed even Jumpus I wont disclose how much cause I wont get believed bear in mind I'm not adding labour costs into the equation either nor has any expense been skimped on as far as the fittings etc.

Have to give a wee bit of credit to my off sider Bees, he's been playing my secretary on the projects chasing up the deals, opening accounts with co's to get the prices, we got some super super deals on the alloy this alone has kept costs right down.

Helpswhen your ordering for 3 goats as well a mate of mine in the industry cant get the price on alot of the gear that I did & he's in the industry, then there's all the peeps Jumpus knows who go out of their way to do the best deals for him we're talking 60% discount on fasteners I'm now on 40% off on the paints & the list goes on.

And yep the 1st boat will be used as a promo for their gear that's the main reason I ended up scaping that tinny project a few months back & talked them into a new goaty, me tinks I'll have to spend a couple of days @ their warehouse raiding the shelves & setting up outfits /tackle box's for the goat

Have to admit it's good to see the boys bringing in alot of good gear in these days instead of the rubbish they initially started importing & their sales are a testiment to that they are doing quite well now.

As far as the Viva Factory in China goes well it's gigantorus 100,000 sq meters has everything from accomidation apartments tenis courts, swiming pool etc etc etc only completed this year so it's a brand new complex, Viva is now the biggest manufacturer of rods & reels in the world.



Yeah Fed I'm curious as well & will weigh it when I drop the goaty off on thursday, I've done calculations by how much alloy went into the goaty

Posted by: Seafairy Aug 21 2009, 02:18 PM

JUMPUS: you amaze me - the boat(s) are really great AND I know just how much work you have put into them.
Even to think of tackling projects of that size by yourself - good on ya!

Posted by: Fed Aug 21 2009, 06:22 PM

It looks like the forum ghost is still posting pictures... BRRR! Spooky.

I checked the Merc website out of curiosity.
Dry 90HP 4 Banger 181 Kg.
Trailer 280 Kg.
120 Litres of fuel 90 Kg.

Looks like you have a couple of hundred Kilos for the boat + fittings etc.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 22 2009, 01:37 AM

These goats are toys compared to sum of the projects I'd built B4 retiring

Jumpus gas allways said if your heart is not in wot ewe are doing then ewe shouldn't be doing it

That's why I retired, ewe cant be good @ wot ewe aew doing if your heart is not in it.

Building these goaty'd has lit a spark again after all these years it's looking @ the end product that gives me a stiffy then I sit back & think back to wot has gone into them .



Yep & I deleted them

Oz attachments are starting to appear out of the blue again



Trailer dosen't factor in to the weight , it's wot the trailer is carrying that counts

Posted by: bafoo Aug 22 2009, 02:14 AM

Mate IM JUST GETTING A STIFFY READING ABOUT THE BUILD.

superb awsome .


ANG, 10 OUT OF 10 GO TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS.



bAFOO.


PS. SPOKE TO BEES THE OTHER DAY AND HE HAD A GRIN FROM EAR TO EAR.

Posted by: Fed Aug 22 2009, 02:16 AM

Well there you go, I have always thought the 750 Kg and up for brakes was the all up weight including the trailer.

Posted by: Fed Aug 22 2009, 02:30 AM

I've gotta say that I don't know from personal experience with trailer weights but that's how I've always seen it.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 22 2009, 02:35 AM

Not that real happy with this wun bafoo 2B honest a few stuff ups soured it but the new owners loved it they were grinning from ear to ear today

I'm eager to get started on the next wun cause I know there wont be any stuff up on the next 2 now that I've nutted evlly ting out

Bees liked the layout of this wun but mine will be alot different, I installed the sounder/GPS today same with the downrigger all the elects are now complete, I even sprayed in the rego on the boat peel off the masking tommorro give it a cleanup.

Then I can drop it down onto the ground onto sum rollers & push it out about 2 meters else the windscreen frame will crash the roof, Then up it goes onto the trailer ready for monday when I take it down to my mates & bolt the motor on, not even going to attempt doing it @ my place alot easier with the forklift.

I should have everything else hooked up by tuesday & wednesday it's off for a test run.

I wont take any more pics till it's out of the driveway.



That's why you have the trailers Tare Weight on the rego papers & why a weighbridge certificate is required to register a vehicle they deduct that from the overall weight

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 22 2009, 02:50 AM

Yep Fed, i was asking the same questions regarding weight... There isn't much that he misses

I have been looking at other plate builds lately, and was wondering if 90hp was enough?? I've seen a few this size with 115's and a 5.7 or something had a 140 suzuki on the back...
Regardless, i dont need wot/36kts... Just a nice planing speed will do.

Posted by: Fed Aug 22 2009, 03:04 AM

I'd expect it would do 36 Knots WOT with an average load anyway Bees.
More than fast enough and you get a terrific range as a bonus with the 90.
I've had mine up to 35 Knots and it's probably heavier & pushes more air with the cab & canopy.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 22 2009, 01:45 PM

Jumpus aint Stupid he was Wai Ting for the 1st 2 guinea pigs B4 he decided wot size dont to order 4 himself

GooDarus guess with the 80 yammy going on the back of the 1st goaty it'll pull around 33 knots more than enough speed

I've allready decided on the 115 HP anyways simply cause it's the same size & weight as the 80 Hp & the 100 Hp + I'd rather be baby'n a bigger motor than reving out a smaller Hp wun

Besides I get to say

My Wun is BIGGER than yours

Was out & about yesterday out @ Hunts marine they had sum quintrex's in the showroom & I wooked @ the prices & got a shock

Love to know wot these are worth

Posted by: poly Aug 22 2009, 03:33 PM

J.G. with this question I was thinking more along the lines of things like sounders G.P.S. if they can get them out of China at a good price there new boat would be the best place to run tests.

I would think there is a big market for combos, there is no way some one like myself are going to splash out 3grand on a combo to fish the rivers and stream's. yes there are cheep ones out there but most are black and white and the sounders arn't much good in deeper water, plus most have small screens, and with me eye sight they are not an option I think its worth them thinking about it

Posted by: salty fil Aug 22 2009, 03:53 PM

Looking the goods Ang.
I caught up on all the posts of the build yesterday and see your flying along. Bees, you must be getting a stiffy!
Any covers going to be made up for them, or is that an optional extra by the owners?

Posted by: Bees Knees Aug 22 2009, 04:09 PM

Salty, there has been movement ... On another note, not related to movement (Unless it's reciprocated) We have to catch up I'll have more fishing time in a week...

Jumpus wrote;

I dont know how the boat builders loose money Jumpus... Seriously.. Now that you have witnessed buying power in the industry first hand, there is a tidy profit for the builders V's the product that they push out.

To think there would be further saving bringing your metal in from china. Mass producing... Keel and gunwale dies for the more time consuming parts of the build...

To me, they have no excuse..

Posted by: poly Aug 22 2009, 04:58 PM

I can't really agree Bees, yes they do have massive buying power, but there overheads are massive as well and that money has to won back, as J.G. said he has not facted in labor, to me that would add in at least another 25to30% perhaps even more
J.G. any idea how many hours have gone in to the build???????????

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 23 2009, 01:14 AM

Cant do that poly !

Agencies get set up here & they have to be protected by the factories

Having said that I got a shock yesterday, I'd allready spoken to the boys from Viva about bringing in some Lecky's for these goats, they have brought them in B4 100 units went to Qld but these were just a transom mount troll motor came from the very same factory as the Javis Walker Snakes.

I wanted the 100 lb thrust for these goats & got declined by the factory back in China reason being Javis Walker have the rights to all the foot contolled Lecks.

The shock I was refering to previously was the Min Kota 80 lb sells for $2,300 here even with my discount out of that price it's still expensive so we found a sneaky work around going to use wun of the european agencies to order from factory in china & ship them off to us @ their cost price, I wont disclose how much 4 but it's put a smile on my face.



I know wot ewe mean I got a shock myself yesterday @ the prices on display.

Cause the boys will be fushing the bays & rivers & not clued up on electronics twas pointless steering them towards the Furuno gear that I use & ended up with a Lowrance combo & all I can say to those who reckon the Lowrance is any where near as good as the Furuno is.

Wake Up To Yourselves

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 23 2009, 01:20 AM

They dont lose money Bees

Wot my shock was $35 k for a pissy wittle Quintrex under 5 meter, nothing special about the trailer either & it had a 2 stroke on the back.

Not just the Boat Building industry any buisness if you dont know how to shop & buy you're throwing profits away.

Just wook @ the Jumpus Brainstorms on these goats & how sneaky I was knowing how & where to shop

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 23 2009, 01:29 AM

No idea poly

Ewe have to remember I'm no spring chookens any more & when the crones plays up I get very little done.

Also I went into production mode from the start & everything is all cut up for the next 2 which I might add trailer is just about finished for wun of them & after getting the 1st goat onto it's trailer today ready to take out & get the motor bolted up in the morn.

I even managed to set up the jig this arvo for the next wun, all the frames have been bolted to the jig & the rolled stringers as well decided to call it a day early when I discovered I only had 2 lengths of 500 mm x 6 mm flat bar left

Did ewe hear that Bees ???????????? I want another 20 lengths Yesterday

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 23 2009, 01:35 AM

Mine is bigger than Bees salty thought he could fool ellybloody by getting a BLACK wun but Jumpus went wun Bigger

Get out there mate, Snapper are back on. In size, and in numbers.

Il have to get out there myself and have a looky for them aswell this week when hopefully that part for my engine comes in.

Sounds like a plan Bees. I know weve said it a few times and it hasnt happened, but we have to sort out a session together.
The thing is that living so close to the water i never plan to go out, its always on the morning or late the night before.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 23 2009, 04:31 AM

Hmmmmmmmm !

Sounds more like a plan to do another Barry Manilow Concert 2 me


I've been a Jelly Bean forever
and I wrote the very first song
I put the words and
the melodies together
I am music
And I write the songs

(chorus)
I write the songs
that make the whole world sing
I write the songs
of love and special jelly things
I write the songs
that make the young watto's cry
I write the songs
I write the songs

My home lies deep within you Bees
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

Posted by: salty fil Aug 23 2009, 02:24 PM

Think of all the SandWhichIsThere

Didn't it piss down this arvo

Not much I could do on the goat till I re jack it up way ting for paint on hull to go off a bit harder & 4 materials to get delivered.

Got the itch to go for a fush againso went through the big goat & gave it a good cleaning with the gernie, did a minor service on the motors.

Also started to do that extention on the hard top

Posted by: Bees Knees Sep 26 2009, 01:46 AM

Well i got over to Jumpy's today.... Lads, the boat blew me away. It is impressive to say the least. A ton of room and the new console design is awsome... I had a smile from ear to ear..

My 2 kids jumped inside the console... plenty of room

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 26 2009, 02:34 AM

How did ewe manage to get the kids off the Jumpus GooDarus ????????

Did they nag ewe for wun off those afterwards ???

ps] ewe missed out I went to that Noodle place for dinner how was Macca's

Trailer looks great... Salty has promised to teach me how to fish now

Posted by: Fed Sep 28 2009, 02:04 PM

What's the reason for lowering the trailer Jumpy, do you need to get enough water to semi float the boats off?

You told me boats slide off these skid trailers on their own.

Just having a pot shot at you mate but how do you get on at a flat ramp?
River Rd ramp is a good angle, my boat rolls in by itself, even my old Caribbean Commodore (20½ Ft) used to roll off without help and that was one heavy boat with everything but the Kitchen sink. No wait! It did have the kitchen sink too.

Now be nice and let me have my fun.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 29 2009, 01:14 AM

Couple of reasons

1. goat lower 2 ground which makes for safer towing
2. ewe dont have to sink the car @ ramps.



It Is

That ramp is very flat & it was chocks's with sand buildup

On another note took the trailer to get Blue Slipped 2day all was fine & passed till they delivered the unspection guys new Seeing Dog

Didn't know wot the dog was whispering in the guys ear but he then turned around & defected the paint job

Said the guy who sprayed it must've ended up with his old blind dog

Posted by: Fed Sep 29 2009, 01:30 AM

Yeah I know what you mean mate, my boat used to sit like a cocky on a perch with my old trailer and it felt very unstable. Now with the new trailer it sits at least 6" lower, maybe even 8".
I can rip round corners with gay abandon now.
Have you heard from the Viva boys, I bet they haven't used the boat yet, they seemed a bit scared of it to me.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 29 2009, 01:38 AM

Wouldn't have been so bad if the boat was getting reversed back by my car, I have towball hight etc spot on but behind the commodore tow ball was way to low in turn throwing the arse of the boat skywards, that's wot I saw as the prob @ the ramp.

Yeah the boys rang last week david has been taking them out in the goat

Woops Bees is here I better go HIDE

Posted by: Bees Knees Sep 29 2009, 02:30 AM

Your a funny man Jumpus. I know i missed a few spots but you needed it back. I will tidy it up after Thursday.....

Posted by: Fed Sep 29 2009, 12:07 PM

Is Thursday the big day Bees? I'd better get my arse over there & check it out before it goes.

Best to do the quality control before the paint goes on, gotta be sus of a bloke who builds a boat in a few weeks.

Posted by: Bees Knees Sep 29 2009, 02:14 PM

Yes it is Fed.. I'm taking the day off to do the run-around with Jumpus.. However the day turns out, there will be a few laughs along the way. Salty may be there as well. I heard Jumpy locked him in the bait take and is only feeding him at regular intervals

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 30 2009, 12:44 AM

Na salty has got 2 work 2morro he told me that he was the star attraction @ a 100's & 1,000's party being the only Jellybean there

The boat towed like a dream... Except for the copper following me all the way through Rosebury

Managed to hit 130 on the M7, cause i just wanted to see if it got any wobbles or anything. (There is no use asking Jumpus, cause none of his boats have travelled over 40kph)

Didn't even notice it on the back....

Posted by: Bees Knees Oct 2 2009, 02:41 PM

I cant touch till Tuesday anyway, but it in the factory, so light and weather isn't an issue... Only time

Posted by: Fed Oct 2 2009, 02:49 PM

You still should keep an eye on the weather, rainy days can send the paint a bit milky looking.
You may not notice it on a light colour but it could show on dark colours.

Posted by: Bees Knees Oct 3 2009, 04:03 PM

The blue boat looks like a midget compared to the new builds Jumpus.. Chalk and cheese

No worries Fed, I'll be careful... The milky thing you mentioned is called Blush..

Of to the Grand Final this arvo.. My wife is a mexican, so i will have to go for Parra.. She needs the contraversy

Is it finished yet Bees?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Oct 8 2009, 12:36 AM

Got it from a GooDarus source !

He's still wai ting for salty to rock up & give him a hand to sand inside the LBT 7 other cavities

Salty wont rock up unless there's a Milk Crate there for him to stand on so he can reach up high

So Bees is out looking for milk crates

Posted by: Bees Knees Oct 8 2009, 01:07 AM

Hi Fed, progress has been made.. Everything is rubbed back, but i want to do a few things before i paint it.. So no colour for at least a week..

Jumpus, i actually have 2 crates at the back there.. So Salty can come over anytime... But it's a bit far, he may need a passport

Posted by: Fed Oct 8 2009, 01:16 AM

If your cavities are a bit rough you should try KY Gel, it would have to be better then Salty on a milk crate with sandpaper.
What's your background Bees, I wouldn't want to be telling you how to suck eggs mate.
Get yourself a really good respirator, I've sprayed a couple of boats using only those paper masks and had paint running from my nose for days, the paper ones are useless and you need something that seals around your face.

Sorry for multiple posts, but i needed to post this....

I've been flat out with work, (the chooks are always hungry) so i have been just pinching at bits on the the boat. But my step-dad has been getting into it, lots of sanding... We have done a couple of things to make the skins look pretty Well its a couple of hours away from priming, so it's close...

My young bloke ditched a day out with friends yesterday.. He wanted to come and work in the factory. This kid will never join a dole cue, trust me... He turns 8 this month. Fiona dropped him at work around 9am and we locked up at around 5pm.. Needless to say, he earned some pocket money..

Work is so much better when the kids come along to give you a hand, my middle daughter now 13 does the occasional day in the holidays when she wants to earn a few $$$$, she looks after the paperwork, keeps the cables running up the walls tangle free and tells me where to cut the holes when doing 2story string line drops and when we've got to drill the noggin on internals. She really enjoys it now as she gets to activate the service with the PDA we now use for work.....I usually ask her what she enjoys most about helping her old man out for the day and like many of us the best part for her is when the cold hard hits her hand-she earns $10 per job-we average 5-8 a day. She used to like Mc'd or the KFC lunch but thats just a bonus for her.

I've been away for a little bit. Where are we with the new build? The sticky thread seems to be out of order or have you started a third? So what's happened (in a nut shell).

Posted by: Bees Knees Oct 14 2009, 11:30 PM

Finally primed the boat yesterday and today. Therer are a few spots i want to fix up. You dont see everything until it has some sort of colout on it. I'll start sanding tomorrow arvo, then touch up in a few areas.... Then it is paint time..


Boat all masked up...

Pretty in pink

Looks like you borrowed the film set off Dexter. Good on ya. Getting there. I had to "free" up my Teleflex steering today. Some white lithium spray grease and new grease in the tilt tube saw it loose again. Things get away from you if you don't keep them maintained. Still looking for glass for my windscreen

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, sometime. You need a bigger car.

What's your painting process bees?
From when you get it off Jumpy's angle grinder to the finished product?

Posted by: Fed Oct 15 2009, 02:04 AM

Why glass KK, it's only a tinny.
Just a hint, whenever I grease my motor I fill up the domed nut that holds the steering cable onto the motor then when I do it back up it forces grease through the tilt tube so I get a contsant stream of fresh grease going through it.
Do it with the steering retracted on left lock so you can't get any hydraulic lock up happening.
It's strange I've never see anyone ever suggesting that in all the seized steering threads I've seen.

Hey Jumpy what's the deal with blaming the Revesby ramp for the boat no sliding off, that ramp is as good as they get.
I'd hate to see you on a flat ramp, I thought you said skid trailers slide off as good as roller trailers, have I got news for you. THEY DON'T!
Mine rolls off on that ramp by itself, don't even need to push it by hand.

Trailer brakes? Has anyone weighed one of these rigs yet, it's black & white, there is no grey area on a new trailer.

Did you build any condensation into the fuel tanks for these boats?
BTW, I liked your little breather covers but I still have enough pressure to piss uphill. HaHaHaHa!

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 5 2009, 12:45 AM

That would be right

I read sum where that the Revesby ramp was designed for Hillbillys & their boats , that's why ewe like it

Wun hand pushing the boat off the other attending to your

@ your age having the boat roll off by itself allows for tu hands on the cause nobody can get that sirri using wun


Jokes over !

It's a bit hard [not your ] for a boat to leave the trailer when there's no water under the hull & yes that ramp is very flat compared with the wuns in the Bay




1st rule for brakes

Only required if trailer goes over a certain weight, these being alloy they weigh SFA thus brakes not required for the trailer itself

Posted by: nimrod Nov 5 2009, 04:12 PM

1st rule for brakes

Only required if trailer goes over a certain weight, these being alloy they weigh SFA thus brakes not required for the trailer itself
[/quote]

................................................................................
..................

For those who may not be aware of the regulations of brakes on a trailer.
If a trailer itself ( unladen ) weights more then 150 kilo it is required that it has override brakes fitted.
If a trailer + it's gross weight exceeds 750 kilo then that trailer requires override brakes.

So I would suggest anyone with a boat near 5 metres or over to load it up with the usual equipement they normally have in the boat when they use it ( tow it ) including fuel grog and anything else they have in the boat when towing it, and take it to a weighbridge. If it's over 750kg it needs brakes.

The RTA are ramdomly going to boat ramps throughout NSW with portable scales and weighing trailers as they enter the ramp area.
If your boat/trailer/equipement weights over 750kg's you are then required to have your boat/trailer towed back home OR a place where brakes can be fitted to the trailer. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOW THE TRAILER YOURSELF, you have to have it professionally towed by a registered tow truck. You can arrange your own tow OR the RTA will arrange a tow and bill you for it.
For those who don't believe me, and have a boat weighing over 750kg's gross all up weight on trailer I just hope you keep getting away with it.
For those who want to stay within the laws and don't want to take the risk of a very expensive tow from a ramp, I suggest you weight your outfit.

I don't mean this to be interpreted as any kind of critisism to Jumpys post, just would prefer the members here to be aware of the true facts.

Posted by: Fed Nov 5 2009, 04:33 PM

I've got a funny feeling the unladen weight limit is 250Kg but if you've checked it recently Frank then I'll stand corrected.
Also the 750Kg cut off does NOT include the downward weight on the towball so anyone getting their boat/trailer rig weighed should do it while still connected to the car.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 6 2009, 12:13 AM

I actually went down to the RTA in botany & had a word with wun of the inspectors rather than speak to a clueless desk jocky.
Also bear in mind I spent a few $$'s setting my tow vehical up to tow [irrelevant as far as RTA goes but I have peace of mind]

THE LAW

In December 1998 an agreement was reached by all State Ministers of Transport to implement national towing regulations throughout Australia. The uniform law states all trailers with an Aggregate Trailer Mass (including the load) over 750 kg must be fitted with brakes to comply with the national road regulations.

According to the Australian Design Rules, all trailers over 750kgs GTM, irrespective of the towing capacity or unladen mass of the tow vehicle, must have an effective brake system fitted. All brakes must be operable from the drivers seat of the tow vehicle except for over-ride brakes.

The minimum braking system required for a trailer or caravan depends on its type and weight, as well as the weight of the tow vehicle.....

• Up to 750kgs GTM: No brakes are required.

• 751 to 2,000kgs GTM: There must be a braking system on the wheels of at least one axle and over-ride brakes are permitted. However, for caravans exceeding 1000kgs, independent brakes (electric brakes are the most common
form) are strongly recommended.

• Over 2,000kgs GTM: A brake system operating on all wheels is required. The system must be capable of automatically activating should the trailer become detached from the tow vehicle. Under these circumstances the brakes must remain applied for at least 15 minutes. These 'break away' systems are compulsory on all trailers over 2,000kgs GTM.




WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROLLER

An electric trailer brake controller is a device that supplies power from a vehicle to a trailers electric brakes when the vehicles brakes are applied. Any trailer with electric brakes needs a brake controller to activate the operation of the brakes.



HOW IT WORKS

Power is fed from the vehicles stoplights into the controller, activating the trailers brakes via a separate heavy duty circuit fed through the trailers connecting plug and socket. This allows the trailers brakes to come on automatically when you apply the vehicles brakes, at a rate set by the controller. When the controller is adjusted correctly, the driver will be able to slow the tow vehicle and trailer combination just as smoothly as if the tow vehicle was by itself.

It is important the wiring is heavy enough for the power to run through to the trailer with a good earth return, not just earthed to the body. Of course proper maintenance of the brakes with regular adjustment of the shoes & care of the magnets goes without saying.



WHERE DOES IT GO

Most electric brake controllers are of a slimline contoured design allowing under dash placement easily within the drivers reach. From the drivers seat you can control the rate of brake application from soft to aggressive my simply moving the control forward or backward. Most controllers also have a manual over-ride device which allows the user to apply the trailers brakes independently of the vehicles brakes.



TYPES OF CONTROLLERS

There are two types of electric brake controllers - motion sensing or pendulum style and time delay activated or solid state. Although the controllers methods are different, both types of controllers are very similar. Both allow the user to adjust output or braking power & both have a pressure sensitive manual over-ride trigger that can be used to apply the trailer brakes independent of the vehicles brakes & as well as having the same wiring configuration.

MOTION SENSING or pendulum style controllers are enabled by the brake pedal switch and activated by a pendulum circuit that senses the vehicles stopping motion and applies a proportional voltage to the trailers brakes. When properly adjusted the trailer will decelerate at the same speed as the tow vehicle. This increases braking efficiency and reduces brake wear. A big advantage of the pendulum style controller that it will operate well under adverse braking conditions and have a smooth braking action. Although most pendulum style controllers are bulky, more expensive and must be mounted and calibrated level, there are exceptions such as the new generation controllers like Tekonsha Prodigy.

TIME DELAY controllers operate the trailers brakes at a pre-determined braking rate. These controllers are designed to activate the brakes at a set delay from when the stoplights are activated. In some instances the rate of brake application is no different for a gradual stop to that of an attempted emergency stop. It is important to note that while time delay controllers provide some braking, it does not provide the most efficient balanced braking for the combination of car and trailer. Time delayed controllers are inexpensive, have a low profile, and can be mounted on any angle.

Fed. You will find that I am right, the weight is 150kg's.
This is for a boat trailer which our members would be concerned with. Caravans and plant trailers and a few other type trailers have different regulations, which I won't go into here.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 6 2009, 03:09 AM

Cant see how ewe can be correct Frank ????????

Irrellevant whether it's a boat or box trailer 150 kgs is Seirra Foxtrot Alpha

By adding mech brakes to a 150 kg trailer you've just increased it's weight by 25 %

I know this cause I just went through it

In other words wot ewe are saying is that even box trailers are illigal & need brakes cause ewe put wun of those on a weighbridge it'll go over the 150 kg mark

Posted by: nimrod Nov 6 2009, 03:29 AM

Not looking for logic jumpy as we are dealing with a government department, simply stating what the regulations say in black and white.
There is always the possibility that they have made a mistake in the printing of documents and on their web site.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 6 2009, 03:46 AM

Agree with ewe there frank !

Bunch of morons as far as I'm concwerned that's why I went & spoke to wun of the inspectors instead of a dingaling on the ph.

Bees can verify I lost it @ the RTA when we went to register his trailer cause they couldn't access their data base Bees had to pay $15 to get a permit to drive his trailer home cause they were to stupid to accept all the paperwork & his money & mail him his rego.

I had to walk out B4 I really lost it, silly woman instead of apologising for the inconvience insisted it was not their fault couldn't get it through her thick head twas their data base not ours that was out of action & it's their responsibility not ours, her supervisor was no better & just as stupid so I walked out & let Bees sort it out

I even had a disagreement @ the weighbridge today & got the guy to re-weigh the trailer cause it went 45 kg hevier than the other 2 & I know I used around 10 kg less alloy on this wun.

Posted by: Fed Nov 6 2009, 01:07 PM

Here you go Frank,I knew I'd seen it somewhere, straight from the RTA.

To be exempt from brakes....

Any car under 1500Kg isn't a real car anyway.

It all goes out the window when you put any boat on it aside from a tinny.

Posted by: nimrod Nov 6 2009, 02:12 PM

I wish I could find the MEMO I reciaved from RTA regarding this matter, but it was a while ago so probably have thrown it out.
anyway if you google RTA NSW and then through the search " trailer requirements " a page will come up showing the weights requiring brakes etc.

It would be good if any of these regulations were cleared up and not have as many loop holes and controdictions attatched to them, no doubt somewhere on their site there will be a different version to what they say here.
I think 250kg's is a much more realistic minimum requirement before brakes are needed. But I don't make the laws.

Love it Jumpy... The decals look great..

How did the mask and peel work? Was it easier?


And for the record lads, mine isn't far behind. It's been painted once and the skins ready for the final paint now. I have "Beck" to thank for this, as i have been a busy boy

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 12 2009, 02:34 AM

Yeah they were good prob saved a day & a 1/2 of masking up & doing it all by templates.
Would've liked the marlins that 100 mm bigger though it would've looked alot better.

Ewe can go to school on wot I did.

Lay the stensils flat till ready for use they kink easy & will leave air gaps, I got a few & will have to buff them out

When ready use masking tape on corners to hold stensil in possy just on top so ewe can flip it cause it's velly easy to prep exist paint with sum 1200 wet/dry b4 applying paint, dont be scared to scrath outside the stencil profile it's only 1000 & will buff out very nicely.

Haven't buffed my wun yet best leave paint to dry as long as possible

For best results wait till 2028 B4 buffing

Didn't really do any ting 2day wasn't feeling the best so all I did was go out & bend up the tube work for the hard tops on the cabs didn't have the die for larger size tube so had to go out & borrow wun.

As seen in pic I'd bolted up the Anchor yesterday now I've got to learn a few tings about these Mine is Bigger than yours blackys

Know the Yammy's inside out & to be honest much prefer to work on them
1st ting I noticed on the Black anchor was the cowls, they are Super light cause the Bloody things are made of plastic that was a piss off right away cause if ewe ever damage it they're not repairable like the fibreglass wuns, not just the main cowl is made of plastic either.

Reading through all the tags attached to the motor wun really caught my eye the wun that said not to use a Primer bulb on the fuel line cause it may damage the electric fuel pump.

Wot a load of

My Q is does Mercury think they are the only wuns to use electric fuel pumps ??

Or have they taken into consideration that sum boats run long fuel lines & water seperators/fuel filters ???

Plug on the main elec harness was giant & was a bitch to get through the under floor chanel so were the contol cables being alot bigger than the yammy wuns but on a good note those control cables were smooth as silk in their travel mind ewes I did get the platinum wuns which I thought odd cause of all the new motors I've purchased over the years this is the 1st time control cables have been supplied

Oh did get around to hooking up the hydraulic steering today but that was about it

Posted by: poly Nov 14 2009, 03:31 PM

The boat finally got the final coat for the base colout last night. Because work has been hectic, it has been a slow process. The people that supplied us with the Marlin's and Jumpy's lettering have offered to do all the pinstriping in the 'mask and peel' and set out in the factory for me tomorrow. I think i'll take them up on the offer. What i could do in 4hrs, these lads will do in half an hour.

Here's a few photos of the finish. Pretty happy with the results.

It should be ready for the fit out soon....

Posted by: Fed Nov 25 2009, 12:23 PM

When do the speed trials begin, I suppose we'll have to wait until after the run in period.
I predict Bees will pull 35 Knots and Jumpy should top 40 Knots, with the right prop and lightly loaded Jumpy may even get close to 45 Knots.
Let the porpoising begin Jumpy.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 25 2009, 12:30 PM

Bees will be very lucky to pull 35 Knots

He's gone with an 18 P prop & wont get the motor to rev out correctly

Merc have an odd pitch rating & dont make a 17 P so I've gone with the 16 P see how it goes

Posted by: Fed Nov 25 2009, 12:46 PM

Can you borrow a few to try when the time comes Jumpy?

Was looking 4ward to have taken the goat out for her 1st run tommorro.

Down @ sea sea's today for final checkup & starting of motor which she did no probs

Had to shut it down quick smart when the alarm went off after around 5 seconds.

Tis a design factor for the alarm to go off if motor revs over 2000 rpm in neutral

Left Brenno to tend to adjustments on the throatle cable 5 minutes later out came the binacle control box cause brenno was scrating his head the same way I was when I installed evlly ting.

F'n mercs dont like their cable setup @ all & I even took the whole binacle in b4 I fitted it to get a run down cause it didn't look right

Turns out wrong cables were sent out by merc they're the new style cables not designed for the binacle box they'd sent out with the motor.

Wot a waste of aday & now I wont get the new binacle box till thursday

Posted by: Fed Nov 30 2009, 02:09 AM

That's a bummer mate, could you shave a day off it by picking up from Mercury direct or something?
Thursday looks like being the best day this week, I'm thinking of wetting a line myself.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 30 2009, 03:10 AM

If ewe have a GooDarus look @ the last lot of pics I put up ewe'll notice no cover on the binacle nor did I screw it down
Just didn't feel right to me

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 1 2009, 10:34 PM

I finally got through that thick head belonging to that Bees chappy

So his goat is getting a new name .

Told the Bees I'll spray the mural in 4 him

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 4 2009, 03:11 AM

Woopsy Doopsy 4got to lock the other thread so I moved your reply here bafoo

Was pretty sore today so dropped the goat off & got the controls done

Mind ewe twas blowing it's arse off all day & I wouldn't have enjoyed being on the water

It's all complete now & 2morro looks like the wind is droping so I'll sneak it out

I did take a few pics when I droped it off I'll post them in the other thread

The boat looks awesome ange well done !


I love the cabin, makes the boat look really good

Posted by: bafoo Dec 4 2009, 10:50 PM

Very impressive Ange,


Looks neat and tidy and sits well on the trailor.

Do us a favour - next time you have a chance stand beside the boat and get some one else to take a happy snap.
This will give us some perspective of the overall size of the project.

What ever you do make sure you do not get out those special budgee smugglers out of the closet for the photo shoot .


The goat looks friken awsome mate.



Bafoo

I see more and more people are calling you Ange, Ange.

Boat looks awesome!

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 5 2009, 01:34 AM

Prob because they've all met me & know me

Updated the build thread boys with a bit of a run down on how she went

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 5 2009, 01:43 AM

Hadn't read your request Marcel but Bees was on the camera today so you'll get a good perspective of the goat in proportion

All I'll say it was built to my specs layout wise & it's a superb fishing platform.

I'll let Bees add to that once he finish's drolling

Think he's going to a Barn Dance 2night to do sum Boot scooting so once the booze wears off I'm sure he'll add his reply.

We did have a bit of a fush didn't get much hadn't planned to fush but overall twas a nice arvo on the water we had a few GooDarus laughs I took the piss out of Bees

He still hasn't learnt ewe have to watch wot ewe say when around Jumpus I've got a smart arse remark for evlly ting

Looks like Monday will be a fushing day Bees convinced me to try out the Bazooka thought why not the Boys had given me a couple of of outfits to try out + I want to see how my handywork on the leather drags fairs

Posted by: flattie_hunter Dec 5 2009, 03:13 AM

whens my turn in the new goat

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 5 2009, 11:14 PM

Have ewe dun a Goat Herding safety course ????

A degree in Milking also looks good on the application form

Posted by: flattie_hunter Dec 6 2009, 02:31 AM

sure have, i'll show you it as soon as the run in the boat is done and were back on land

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 6 2009, 03:09 AM

Hmmm !

So ewe walked around school for a day wearing a condom on your head did ewe ??????

Cause that's wot a Goat Herders safety course involves

Posted by: Fed Dec 9 2009, 09:28 PM

Just checked out the latest pics Jumpy, I told you the hardtop had too much angle on it and now the boat looks GAY!
Those clears really make it an all weather boat and the look good on it.
Do you think the trailer drawbar could have been a bit longer to get some more depth at the ramp?
How far was it backed in, it looked like there was only a little over half the trailer wheels covered?
How the hell did you ding your prop when the skeg sticks down even further, there must be some big rocks at the very bottom of the ramp or something.

Won't be long now mate and you'll be out on the Bay having a GAY old time.

Posted by: Bees Knees Dec 9 2009, 11:00 PM

Yep, there is always an incident when you are with Jumpy...
He managed to blame me as well, says "The driver always checks the coupling, didnt you know that Bees?"...

Slipping into another topic, i dont have my V8 at the moment so I've been travelling in a 6 cylinder Holden. I had to borrow my mate Browney's (he's a lurker on this site ).. I miss my XR8... I just spent $50 in fuel today in the 6cyl

But thanks for the loan Browney, it dug me out of trouble today... ( he reads this stuff )

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 10 2009, 12:11 AM

Ewe hit the nail on the Shinny Head Fed

I'm looking 4ward to seeing ewe out in the bay bending over the gunnels of your goat attracting flathead with your FAD

I'll punch in your co-ords into my Bazooka's & fire both barrels @ once you'll get your annual fix of ANUL JOY



In your dreams Fed

There's purpose behind evlly ting I do

Narrow glass screen allows me to stick my head out so as I can see when coming in @ night nutting worse than looking through a dirty screen

Reason roof is tapered is velly simple, keeps front down lower [twhen I did the mockup it looked poxy being parralel] whilst giving ewe more head space aft where it is needed & if ewe want to believe that it may also act as a spoiler

Allways new the clears would bring the look back into proportion they just roll up when not required, I hate getting wet out there as I dont enjoy the fushing the clears will keep me dry & the wind away on those blowy days


Hey Browny !

I'd get your car inspected if I were ewe.

Have ewe got ROCKS in your head ?????????? wot on earth prompted ewe to let Bees drive it

Did he threaten to come stay with ewe over the weekend ?????

Posted by: Christos Dec 10 2009, 12:17 PM

Good to see that it is finished.

Now it time to get some sleep. As that is what you do when you going fishing - Jumpy.

Posted by: zoggi Dec 10 2009, 07:06 PM

Yep I'm keen on building a plate boat mymelf

Have been having a word with Jumpus

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 17 2009, 02:03 AM

Well peeps The DUCK FLAKKA !

SHE'S GONE sum bitch towed her away 2day

Posted by: Fed Dec 17 2009, 03:31 AM

It has to be an illusion but in the rear end shots of twoeyesea and mini me Bees boat looks to have a deeper V, check it out in the other thread.

Posted by: Bees Knees Dec 17 2009, 03:47 AM

I dont think the V's are different Fed... My transom is taller though... Jumpy has dropped his floor

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 17 2009, 03:49 AM

Geez Fed

Wi Yu No Risten ??????

All 3 boats came off the same jig so they're all the same hull

After doing the water test on the 1st wun I decided that mine would have a lower floor level I also lowered the gunnel hight by 50 mm.

Reason being I knew I definately wanted a lecky on mine + I do alot more lure casting than the other tu boats

Speaking off which Bees picked up my new water snakey today & yep did go with the 80 lb'er with 60 " shaft fit it up 2morro

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 17 2009, 03:52 AM

@ least my Trim & Tilt works

Posted by: Fed Dec 17 2009, 12:41 PM

Do you have a mental problem Jumpy?

What part of...

...don't you understand?

I could explain it to you one word at a time if you want.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 17 2009, 01:06 PM

Geez Fed it's really not your day again is it ??

Just finished telling ewe it's not an illusion & that my goat is 50 mm shorter than DUCK FLAKKA' in hight

Posted by: catchnrelease Dec 17 2009, 10:57 PM

Nice one JG, boat building master!

Time to start getting the whiting and bream on poppers me thinks. They're biting well on the surface in Woolooware and Quibray Bay.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 17 2009, 11:42 PM

Sore as 2day & did Sierra Foxtrot Alpha + it was raining

So I spent the day visiting peeps & of course shit stiring them

1st stop was @ sea sea marine where I'd sent Bees yesterday to get his boat code & a fuel primer 4 his Yamaha /Mercury

Soon as he walked in Chris started calling him the Duck Flakka I pissed myself ewe guys have no idea wot i'm on about.

Next I went visiting my favourute tackle store

A few new toys to play around with a couple of the LOX kungy sticks a new 2 - 5 kg LOX spin stick wasn't allowed to steal the 6 - 10 kg LOX spin yet as stock hasn't arrived & it's needed as a sample.

These LOX rods aR selling like hot cakes & have to be air frieghted in in an attempt to keep up with demand.

Also got sum other new toys & Gumballs tried stealing my pair when I visited there next had to ring 1st & asked whether it was the FLAKKA DUCK FARM

I'm refering to my new boat shoes & not my BIG for all ewe dirty minded pervs out there

On the way home I dropped off a couple of cartons into Botany Bay Tackle for Loiu

Yep he also said there's been quite a few bream & Wi Ting in the bay

Apparantly Broadbill nailed 3 marlin yesterday @ the 12 mile

I'm very reserved in believing that cause it was blowing it's arse off yesterday & couldn't see many if any boats fushing outside

Should get my tidy ups done over the weekend so it's back to wetting a line next week just in time to miss all the weekend warriors

Posted by: bafoo Dec 18 2009, 03:43 AM

Gays.... I mean guys, the boats look awsome.


What a great xmas present to have at your leisure.

Both goats look the part with great attention to detail.

JG - I take my hat off to you. youre won talented guru.

Now that Bees Galea has the boat back it will be hard for the missus to get him indoors and help out with the choirs.

Well done JG and Bees.


Bafoo

Posted by: Fed Dec 18 2009, 11:58 AM

Do those brothel creepers you got come in different colours Jumpy?
Your electric blue ones look like something Peter Pan would wear.
How about starting a new thread and putting up some pics of them and those super sexy rods.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 19 2009, 03:02 AM

Well there's Fairy Poofy Pink wuns just 4 U

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 19 2009, 03:15 AM

A few more mods added to mine today

And Mrs Bees had actually paid me to babysit Mr Bees bafoo

She says he's an old women & Chris should've named him Granny & not Jed Clampet

Posted by: bafoo Dec 20 2009, 04:43 AM

I planned each chartered course-
each careful step along the byway
and headed North opposite the Hershey highway.""


"Two eye see " and "Mini me" - yes indeed
built Jumpys way.





Loved the rendition mate, well put together just like the goats.
Can not wait to see the response by Bees.




Bafoo.

Posted by: Bees Knees Dec 20 2009, 12:35 PM

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 20 2009, 12:43 PM

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Dec 21 2009, 01:05 AM

Bees has got no comeback to that post

[size="6"]I Buried Him

In fact not just the standard 6 foot guzunda he's 9 ft 4 inchs guzunder

It took 3 priests, 7 alta boys, 2 cases of coca cola & 3 boxs of Mars Bars to perform the ceremony

Posted by: bafoo Dec 21 2009, 10:06 PM

[color="#FF0000"][/color][size="4"][/size]

Bees is hiding bafoo

He rang me this arvo when I was out fushing [couldn't help myself I rubbed it in & told him we were braining the wittle fushies]

Reckons he was still laughing & found himself singing his version of My Way out on the golf course.

As ewe can imagine all the Ducks heard him singing

Well those Golf Course Ducks aren't Stupid, they new wot Bees wanted & did the Harold Holt poor Bees had to settle for a GOOSE

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jan 13 2011, 09:20 AM

Couldn't sleep last night
Took me 1/2 hr or so to go through this thread @ wee hrs of the morn & pissed myself laughing
Actually 4gotten how funny it really was

To good a thread to be wasted way down the list so I moved it up the ladder & now a sticky

Posted by: Fed Jan 13 2011, 02:07 PM

Good idea Jumpy I'll give it a full read today.
Delete this post after you read it.

Posted by: poly Jan 13 2011, 02:19 PM

And its about time to. the shame of it is, that the build for the big boat got bugged up when the site went down, and i would think to much was lost making it near impossible to get it back to what it was.
How ever if the photos could be found and re posted that would be good.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jan 13 2011, 04:05 PM

Managed to salvage all the photo's from my old hard drive
Haven't looked @ that thread for yonks when I do i'll upgrade the thread
