My Big Johnson

[The Stranger]

Well finally got my big Johnson.



Well ok it isn't that big, but hey it's on a 14' boat whaler so should fooken scream.

[oldrider]

OK so how many whales have you caught? :blip: John.

[EatOrBeEaten]

That explains that odd request that we go swimming, only I'd have to paint myself grey..... :(

Well none yet. Just picked it up last night - but we were listening to Bob Marley.

Well finally got my big Johnson.


You know you're gonna have to trade up to a Yamaha don't you... ?

I reckon the new 300hp v8 would go quite well on a 14 footer.. :laugh:

possibly overpowered perhaps, a mate had a 140 yam on a dominator at full noise only the prop was in the water

[Big Dave]

Nice! - a neat hole in the water into which you can pour money. :Pokey:

Overpowered? surely you jest, is this even possible?

Yeah, well call it a skidmark moment - stupid fast and irresponsible.

[Maha]

Te Stranger knows exactly how to take that, far beit for me to rock anyones boat when it comes to boats...I had a 22ft trailor sailor once, had to get rid of it after the first week, I couldn't turn it around once in the water. Put it one end of lake Rotoiti and when I got to the other end, I had to hitch hike back to my car :Oops:

[The Stranger]

Not at all. maha knows that I prefer indecent.

Ah well, there is a little story there.
When I looked at the boat I could see the trailer was a POS. The guy lives right near the sea and it hadn't been registered or warranted in a while. But the advert said he would get rego and warrant. I thought ok - good luck there.

Well he did get a warrant - with 2 fooked wheel bearings and a crack in the chassis. Not to mention all the rust.
Hey, I aren't worried about the cost or repair, I knew I was up for work on the trailer and the price I paid I figured reflected that. But I must confess to being surprised that the warrant place passed it.

So the boat is now sitting in the car port off of the trailer.
Anyways, does anyone know where I could borrow an arc welder per chance please?

[Mikkel]

Looking at that reminds me of the little dinghy we had at our Bach back in the days. It was rated for 10 hps and we chucked on a 20... Was a lot of fun and not really ridiculously dangerous if you were at least 2 people in the boat so you could weigh down the front a bit.

Being alone on the other hand was nuts. The boat would sit at about 45 degrees to the surface until you picked up enough speed to get planing...


When are we going fishing? :shifty:

Screw fishing - try waterskiing.

[ManDownUnder]

ARC... no... MIG - yes. What you want to weld?

Bowl over some time.

I want to weld up the crack and flitch it for now.
But will replace the trailer completely after Easter.

Will give you a call.

I did realise it was a friendly piss take :calm: John.
