Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[bafoo]

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



Bafoo
Marcel

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[catchnrelease]

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

[Fed]

He's lost his fishing MOJO Catch.

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 ???????

[Fed]

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?

[bafoo]

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.

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

a little bit wider and it could be a centre cab.

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

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

[Fed]

Pics tell lies Federick it is a centre cab

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?

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

What's in front of the vertical rod holders?

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

[nimrod]

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.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[Christos]

Looking very nice.

The boat and trailer not you jumpy.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[jack]

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.

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

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

[Fed]

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

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.......

[jack]

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

[catchnrelease]

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.

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

I got word that there were small BFT of around 30-40kg crawling around Brown's

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

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

[salty fil]

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!

[Christos]

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

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?

[poly]

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

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[Bees Knees]

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

[Christos]

Rubbish we are guys.

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

[poly]

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

[Fed]

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.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I do hope you are feeling better soon J.G.

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

the only thing is the center cab leaves me cold,

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

[Bees Knees]

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

[Bees Knees]

Trailer will be done this week Jumpy

[Fed]

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!)

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

[Bees Knees]

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

How big is the fuel tank Jumpy?

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

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.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

im going hungrey without the pics

Cant find my crayons bafoo

[Christos]

This bitch came out & strated winging,

Must love you.

There's also a miserable silly old XXXXX across the road who winges about anything & everything

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

he had the hide to try & orchestate a partition to stop me from building the goats.

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

There's also a miserable silly old XXXXX across the road who winges about anything & everything

You guys are just too lol.

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

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

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.

Why Fed? They look good

[Fed]

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.

[Fed]

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.

[Bees Knees]

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.

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

[Fed]

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.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I'm afraid Fed is correct Bees

Tinted is out of the Q

Hard enough seeing through clear glass @ night let alone tinted

[salty fil]

Colour Jump?

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Clear

Like Wonder Womans invisible Plane

[Bees Knees]

I'm afraid Fed is correct Bees

Tinted is out of the Q

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???????

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

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

Did you put any floatation in this one?

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

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

[Fed]

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.

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

[storms72]

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?

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

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

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.

The new range of rods from viva look grand

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

[Christos]

Looking good on the boat.

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.

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

I'm remembering the problem Hank

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

Also took the boys shopping for a sounder

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

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