New Boat

[Tackleberry]

Well i have had this in the back yard for a week and been too bloody crook the take it out for a run

but today i managed to get it out for a quick run and wow i thought that 40hp would be a bit anemic.

well i like the blast tech that HONDA have on their donks this thing from a standing start is flat out in

about 3-4 seconds if your quick enough on the trim switch .

i will do a better report over the week end and with better pics in day light


cheers TAC

Looks the goods TAC. what kind exactly? will be looking at upgrading my boat in the next 6-12 months and Bluefin high up the list....only heard good reports. Thinking a drifter tournament in the 4 or 4.2m. keen to hear how you get on and any further info from anyone with one of these.

Cheers

ok it's a bluefin rogue 4.2m nothing flash just a chine to chine floor
and casting deck .

now if you will be doing a lot of rough water fishing 15 to 20 knots in
open water don't get this one get a 4.35 model as they have a better rough water hull they call it ezirider .

if you look at the hull pic you will see it doesn't have much of a variable
deadrise .

so yesterday when i was out on the gippy lakes there was just a 10 to 12 knot breeze and it definitely rides a lot harder than my 3.95 seawasp

but the hull is very stable i am a big bugger (120kg) and when i stand on the side deck it only list's about 15* .

speed was ok for a brand new donk at 55 kph or around 30 knots but i will say this it is built like a tank .

well i finally got out to get a pic of how stable it is .

in the 4.2 class it will take a lot of beating for a so

called v bottom tinny but as i said the rough water

performance is lacking a bit .

and i ain't no light weight .
