    Bought something at the Boat Show in Sydney

    Went to the Boat Show and had a look at a few boats and thought well I am only going to get one chance to buy a new boat so I put a deposit on this one.

    {broken link removed}

    I have looked at a lot of boats and been out a few with the fishing club I am in but nothing rides as well as the Barcrusher.

    Even better, the wife was with me and she also wanted to buy this boat and model.

    They called me today to say they are welding her up as we speak and it will be in my yard in 5 weeks.

    Can't wait to get out and catch a few fish out of it.

    The deal was with a 115 Evinrude E-tec but I up sized to the 130 HP. More grunt and more fuel efficient. Once up on the plane can back off and save fuel.

    Was going to go 4 stroke but after seeing this video and talking to other guys that have the E-tec I was sold. 5 year guarantee and no service till 300 hours.

    They called today to say it will be here at the end of September

    ETECs punch hard but please please please please DONT wait 300 hours till you service it unless you do more than 300 a year OR if you plan to sell it soon.

    Gear bag and impellor wont be a happy thing to service if you do the 'normal' 50-100 engine hours a year. By 300hours which = 5 years of corrosion its just plain jane gonna hurt!

    The best solution is to run it hard and punch 300 hours a year
