Thanks

Hi Sweeden,
I cant work out how to turn on my messaging. When I work it out I will give you my details , but until then we will have to converse through this site. Where are you living at the moment, as the last time I saw a post from you it said that you are "now not living in WA".

Very good idea, and that's coming from only two trips in my tub..YES it's wet. Getting bimini/clears hopefully improve the situation, but also interested in chines. Anyone in WA know of similar supplier ??
Cheers

Wrassinator i searched for a reply from some local poly people down there via email before i picked up the 5.3m and no joy so maybe a personal visit may help as there is a few places in the yellow pages. i now have a local plastic dude in K-Town that i will suss out for a similar job which will keep the mrs in favour

some local councils outsource to get the plastic wiz bins fixed/welded so maybe getting in touch with them might put you onto someone that can poly weld for you.
cheers, Jan.

well if it was the one from up here it was originally for sale for $40k which conviently showed up on the local "hill" just after i ordered mine, was tempting to buy it but it seems you got a much better deal.

Anyone have a template for the 5.3m or am i gonna have to get creative with some cardboard?

Perfect conditions to try them out in Hervey Bay Sweeden (blowing it's ring out today but could be a top day tomorrow). Had our chines done in the bay a while back and were stoked with the difference.2thumbsup

I spoke to Murray at Barney's Marine. He also has a 4.8 and I found him very helpful to talk to about various aspects of the boat.

You ladies need to toughen up a bit or buy a tinnie. If you owned a tinnie you would be sitting at home whinging about how bad the weather was instead. sooks.

Anyone after spray chines. Try Len at Fraser Coast Plastics in Hervey Bay 0741256659
He does do the spray chines, I've had a live bait tank made by him, good job. The chines are still on the wish list.

Barney's contract out the plastic welding to Len, then do some finishing themselves. Price is something I think you should discuss with the dealer. I am very happy with the job done on my boat, but one thing I will say is that it requires me to sink the trailer a lot more to get the boat on (now wet over the axle). Before the chines I could wind-on with the trailer just in to the bottom of the wheel rims.

Sweeden, can you give me a ball park figure on the cost of chines. Also how have the chines effected the Brumby other than the trailer being deeper?
sweeden

Ballpark between $400 and $500. I've had them for all of 2 days now, but can definitely notice a reduction in spray and no noticable handling changes. They aren't particularly beautiful cosmetically, but you can see that from other peoples pictures of the chines. They look very similar to the set put on by Bones and Geobec. I'll be doing a photo gallery of my boat early next week and will post pics then.
