Thanks for that. The boat looks great. You’re spot on wrt Stones Corner Marine. I’ve found they’ve always done a great job with servicing my 60 Yamaha over the years. Any (very rough) idea what the wrap might have cost?
Great review guys, I’ve been thinking about one of these just for fishing in the bay. I think you’ve talked me into one. Just one thing, how wet do you get in it?
Thanks mate, it's a perfect platform for the bay and rivers, we just had it 70kms off Cairns on the outer reef no worries, as for getting wet the only time I've got spray is when it's proper wild weather, and you would get wet in any open boat 👍
great vid and review. I have the 70 Yamaha as well on a similar sized boat, I am wondering roughly what the revs are when you doing your typical cruising speed? trying to figure out if I am sitting mine in the sweet spot or not? have only had it a short time and am looking at getting the most out of it. its been an amazing motor so far
Thanks for sharing guys. Just found this channel and subscribed. . Looking at upgrading to the same combo from a SJ 3.7 HS. Can i ask, what's the total length on the trailer with the engine trimmed down? Look forward to many more videos from you guys.
Thanks mate, you won't be disappointed, we originally had a 3.5 creekmaster and went to this, you will be blown away I'll have a look at it tomorrow for you and get back to you with the measurements
Hey guys. Love the channel and love the boat. I stumbled across your channel looking at side consoles which may do the job I want when I can afford it. Probably watched this 1 a dozen times so far. Just curious as to why you picked seajay. I’ve had a professional welder recommend them aswell. He said he’s repaired almost every other make and seajay are by far the best. I had my eye on Anglapro of stessco but Merlin marine is no more. Last break from work I went to a few telwater dealers on the Sunshine Coast and was horrified. There’s aluminium swarf stuck in the carpet of brand new boats out in the weather. Electrical wiring looks awful and not neat by any stretch. I saw one that had orange mold in the timber and mold on the seats. Rust on trailer winch. The list goes on. Anyway just curious. These definitely look the best contender for me. Thanks heaps for the content. Hopefully one day see you guys out on the water.
@michaelbray6499 hey mate, I've always owned seajays, they definitely have the highest build quality over the rest and are built like tanks, I've put this one in some crazy weather and never felt unsafe or like the boat would let me down, Currently looking at upgrading to a bigger seajay next year which Plus there a australian owned and built product which is pretty hard to find these days Hope this helps mate
@@MrCal93h its up to you mate but id go this every time, there so solid and well built, the amount of bracing under the floor is crazy, ive had it in some crazy weather and ive never once felt unsafe in it

Not too sure mate, prices have changed alot over the last 2 years aswell, I'd just give em a call, well worth having it on
I think you mentioned you were going to talk about prop size. What was the size of your original prop and what size is the prop you have now?
Hey mate the prop is a 13 1/2 x 15-k. Not sure what the previous was, this will give you good all round performance
Thanks, I have also just changed from the 13 5/8 x 14 prop to the 13 1/2 x 15 on my Quintrex, but I have yet to take it out.@@TidesofAdventure

Hey mate, thanks,
I usually sit around 4500 cruising then 5000 if I'm getting to a spot quick, that seems to be the sweet spot
@@TidesofAdventure thanks for that. appreciate the advice

Hey mate, it's 5600mm end of trimmed down out board to end of drawbar, hope this helps
@@TidesofAdventure Awesome. Thanks guys. I'm like you, the boat needs to fit in the garage and i only have 5.86m to work with. Cheers for your time.
Hi whats the hydrofoil that you have installed , I have the navigator and porpoising is an issue.
Hey, it's a Sport Se 300 you can get them most places

@@TidesofAdventure that’s great.
I look forward to having a look up close and personal to one shortly.
To add to this when you upgrade hopefully I’ve got some funds available if you sell it.
It’s got great fish mojo 🤣
@michaelbray6499 haha I've also thought that, the amount of fish that's came over the side is unreal, it's got some serious mojo 😆
@@TidesofAdventure love it!!!!
Got my casting arm is getting itchy
Good review what is total length from bow sprit to end off outboard thanks in advance
I'd have to check mate, I'd say roughly 5.4m but I'll double check for you
@ChrisandNaomi that would be great just from bow sprit to end of motor as i can customise the draw bar cheers
G'day mate did you get time to measure boat no problem if you have been busy when convenient cheers
@@paulhanahoe-sp4hn hey mate, haven't yet I'm up north on a trip, I can do it tomorrow for you 👍
@ChrisandNaomi thanks mate have a good trip
Hey mate, how shallow can you take her?
Pretty shallow mate, 0.3 it will float, and ive had it on the plain over a bank at Lucinda and it was 0.3 aswell
@@TidesofAdventure cheers mate, wonder how much that is effected as you go up the two bigger sizes.
@@MrCal93h id say it would change it a little, depends how big you go, i reckon the 483 wouldnt be much be too different
@@TidesofAdventure good to know brus!
Still this thing over something like a renegade? Bout to pull the trigger 😂
@@MrCal93h its up to you mate but id go this every time, there so solid and well built, the amount of bracing under the floor is crazy, ive had it in some crazy weather and ive never once felt unsafe in it
Mean boat guys. Great job
