Lovely boat, congratulations
Thank you 🙏
Gee that must be close to 3.5t. That inboard isn’t light
Yes very close Josh. 3350kg on trailer loaded with gear, water, 50% fuel & inflatable tender with Suzuki 2.5hp portable.
I have a caribbean 2300 with a 350 yamaha and it's 3.3T with fuel and water. Not to much gear on board
Great video guys. What time of year were you up there? Thinking of trying to get the family up September school holidays just not sure on winds at that time of year
Thank you mate. You'll love it up there. Beautiful place. We were up there in February. Should be good in September ! Generally the winds are low that time of year.
I find this far better than the commercial grade mine spec sprays that you can get. Once a stone chips chips the heavy duty stuff water gets trapped between the bitumen and the chassis which causes rust you can't see. Your method is way cheaper and better. Great video mate
Thank you mate 😄 yep it works that's for sure.
Hey mate looking at buying a Haines and was Wondering wether you have taken yours offshore yet to the reefs? and if so how stable was it? cheers mate love the vid
Hi mate. These are very capable boats for light offshore work. They share the same Beam as the v17 r (wider than the v16r) I find mine to be very stable. Enjoy
@@onthelooseadventures thanks mate, tight lines👍
What a great episode Justin & Emma! Looked like an awesome family adventure! New engine looks mint 👌
Thank you mate. Much appreciated. Excellent memories were made on this trip. New engine ran beautifully 😀
how far from my bait do i position the lead weight
Excellent dream boat, for its size it is the most balanced cruiser out there. The bottom driving position looks very cramped for leg room.
Nice vid, you changed from inboard to outboard. How come?? advantages vs disadvantages.
Thank you mate. Yes, some big changes to the boat in the last 12 weeks ! The inboard gave up the ghost so there was only one option in my mind, to go outboard. I'll do another walkthrough video in the next week or so
What hp is that??? It would be great and interesting discussing fuel consumption and kmhs per litre and how you did it.@@onthelooseadventures
I agree a vid on cost to get the pod and transom done would be great ! Looks much better with the outboard on the back !
Hey mate great video, I’m looking at this exact boat engine combo, apart from the water pump did you find it to be a reliable engine? Also how is the fuel economy with the 4 blader at cruising speeds
Hi Gary. I found 3500rpm the sweet spot, burning 38L/h for 20 knots. Was reliable untill At 500 hours (4 years old) a riser suffered a blocked water passage which warped the head causing hydrolock. Maybe just unlucky 🙄 anyways I've now converted it to outboard.
Beautiful condition well done
Thank you!
Thank you for the induction to your boat. Did you ever consider a marine diesel and why did you go for the Mercury? Cheers
Not a problem, thank you for watching. I'm actually currently converting to outboard. I'll post a video very soon of the whole project. However in answer to your question.. At the time of purchase in 2109 the diesel option incurred a price difference of around 30k AUD which was hard to justify.
Don't be surprised if the outboard isn't that much more efficient. Maybe a tad. I'm assuming other factors prompted your decision, reliability ? @@onthelooseadventures
Great video. Carrabean should be paying you. Any vids of her up and running?
Cheers mate 😀 she's currently undergoing a transformation at the moment. Watch this space 👌
Can't wait !
Would it be suitable to apply 4 days prior to a beach trip?
Hi Jonno. From personal experience I can tell you that there is no reason why you can't. Sand still won't stick to it even after only 24 hours but you may experience some coating loss if doing crossings etc
@@onthelooseadventures awesome thanks very much !!
been using inox/lanox for years 2 times a year and apply at least 2 or 3 weeks before you drive on the beach or salt water. I have a 1990 80 series and a 1996 camp trailer a 5L bottle will last me a year or 2 coats its the best rust prevention for your money both camp trailer and Landcruiser are rust free and I live about 200m from the beach
Thanks for posting this. I have done the same too after viewing. How do you put the lanolin inside the chassis?
Trophy fish, nice.
Doh!! I modified my transom for the Bennett auto level tabs…. Still be fun to play with haha thanks for the videos!
You made it work and that's what counts. Cheers for commenting mate. More videos to come over the coming months
Never mind found it 🤣🤣🤣
New Sub here 🙋🏻🙋🏻♀️ that place is dreamy 😍 you need to do a boat tour plz !!
😉 Have a great week team !
I felt sorry for the shark.
Thank you for commenting
what leg is the v6 pushing?
why worry about the trace being coated when the hook is not coated
How many mm is your thermolite transom
Hey mate. It's 60mm edge to edge 👍
👍
That’s brilliant, same issue here with young kids
Yep sometimes fishing on the go is key 😉 then they'll want to wind what is caught in
Do you have any photos of the battery setup .I’m thinking of doing the same but a little unsure how Regards Kevin
Hey mate, great video, I'll be doing this on my ski soon. Where did you launch from and how many km out is it?
@On The Loose Adventures Awesome thanks mate, hopefully in the next few months, I'll be out there.
It being a lanolin product can I spray this straight on to surface rust under my 4x4 after I’ve hit it with a wire brush?
Hi Nas. Technically you could however I would recommend spot spraying a rust converter on the areas after you wire brush prior to Lanolin. Regards, Justin
Great Vid! Just setting our 23 Bertram up for the same trip !
Cheers Jay ! You'll have a top time out there mate.
Your a very keen man eating that thing from in the bay! Ripper spanish but
I agree mate 😉 this one was just passing through 😝
Hi mate, I've recently just finished a full rebuild on my 1980 Caribbean-Pride Pacemaker which is a 4.8m hull. I went with the same DF100B which so far has been fantastic, only struggle we're having with it is getting it propped right. Did you find you could pull the same size prop in the standard suzi alloy prop or could you up pitch in the stainless? My Suzuki dealer admits that the cupping and shape of the suzi alloy props is pretty basic and in return doesn't perform anywhere near a stainless. We tried a standard 3x14x19p originally and it was only getting about 5200rpm with 2 adults no gear, then tried a 3x14x17p and for some reason gained about 1100rpm it got the 6300rpm easy and that was with 3 adults and some gear. Then tried a 3x13.75x19p and that brought it back down to a Max of 5400rpm. Again 2 adults and gear. Trim seems to make a big difference to the Max rpm too, fully trimmed down it get 5400, trim out a bit gains another 450 rpm giving 5850rpm which is in the rev range. That with the 3x13.75x19 alloy prop at 32knt or just under 60kmh. Trying to decide what prop to go to next as don't want to loose any more high end cruise speed.
Hey mate. Thank you for reaching out. The Pacemaker is a great boat. I run a Suzuki Stainless 21P. Tops out at approx 6300rpm for 85km/h with a light load and just me on board. I haven't ran any other props. Assuming all the props you tested were alloy I'm thinking a Stainless Solas or Suzuki 19P would be in the sweet spot for your boat. Regards, Justin
What product do you use for buffing/polishing
Love it. Thanks for the run through. What do these retail for?
Eerie watching that helicopter. RIP mate
🙏
What a great watch guys! Very chilled and down to earth vibe. Look foretold seeing more jump on go support your channel cos the content and scenery was amazing 😊
Thanks so much Johnny 🙏
New subscribers here Looking forward to your adventures
Thanks guys. Much appreciated. We've got one from the Keppells coming soon 😊
Very good video and hints on bait prep,i am going to try balloons this time as well to keep away from bottom dwellers as i used to be a diver at seaworld and they always seem to travel at midwater, so will let you know as going this arvo on top of tide
Thank you ! Let me know how you go 😊
Awesome Thanks 👍🍺
Not a problem. Tight lines 🍻
I love these boats, the shape is timeless and the hull is perfect for rough seas. Great value for money. My brother did a full restoration on a 1985 caribbean 23, new power plant and the hull is painted a dark blue, its a real head turning boat. Congratulations on a beautiful boat for your family mate, fun for years to come.👍
How often have you found that you need to reapply it?
Hi Musty. I apply 2 times each year on my car and slightly more to trailer galvanised components. Thank you for your question. Regards, Justin
Epic guys, thanks for the video and don't we live in a WONDERFUL part of the world. Awesome!!!
Hi Chris. We certainly do ! Thank you for your support 🤠
Oh Wow. That’s amazing! Happy New Year to you all. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.💕
I got 44 mph with a std 3x14x19 prop , 70 kmph . Are you using a std prop on your 100 ?
Not bad with a standard prop ! I'm using a Suzuki Stainless 21P 3 blade for 85km with just me and minimal fuel etc
Love it ive bought a 40 tank for up front ,how did you run your line down to the the other tank? Interested as want to do the same . Cheers the 90 suzuki on mine honks going to try her out Xmas day for top speed down here in Darawank ,merry Xmas bud love the haines shes my 3rd now

Thats awesome mate, I was up there about 3 weeks ago and got close to 10 little blacks in a morning. What a place! we are currently just moving from sydney to hervey bay. Cant wait to call it home.
