    She's a beauty mate, a smooth flat ride, unlike the orange rubber duckie bouncey castle.

    That smile pretty much says it all. Good on you.
    One presumes the boat weight is not an issue when it comes to solo launch and retrieval.
    Looking forward to seeing the next installment of adventures.
    This old bugger definitely enjoys your wholesome content.

    Glad you are happy mate. You deserve it after all the great constant content you put out for us. Especially for us homesick Kiwi's. Congrats.

    Get a piece of matting to go under those dive belts/weights, stops the banging and most importantly corrosion! Looks a great wee beast, can't wait to see you do a night aboard!!!

    wicked boat man can't wait to see some big fish dragged into it. the filter you point out and said is for oil is actually a fuel filter/water separator

    Awesome boat mate, congrats. Will do well on your adventures. Also cheers for having a yarn to Matilda the other week. She's a massive fan... Didn't actually think you were a real person so the video call blew her mind haha! Legend

  • @martingoodef811
    @martingoodef811 2 роки тому +3

    Love it Ollie and happy for you but I’m gonna miss the IRB. You didn’t cover what makes the Senator so stable but looking at the hull I would guess it has a built in collar. Here in Aussie you can get a Collar fitted to dinghy’s to improve stability and make them unsinkable. Time to get out there and do your first video, can’t wait.

    Great choice of boats what a fantastic dive boat. I like all the extra handrails I love all the storage I love the outside design to shoot water away from the boat the spray skirts, the bow rails everything about that boat is incredible. Love the Yamaha motor, so quiet, so powerful great job, Ollie.🎉 congratulations🎉

    Don't worry about the haters winging bout solo diving, did it for years and found I got into worse situations with a buddie, so as long as you know your limit and what's comfortable there's more risk in driving on the way to the ramp. Mint boat set up, perfect for nz, a mates got the 90s version and it's bloody good fun! Enjoy your summer

  • @415s30
    @415s30 2 роки тому

    Nice, it's always good when you get something so useful and makes your favorite activity more enjoyable. I have nowhere to keep a boat other than a kayak. We love to go beach camping, it would be nice!

    Awesome 👌 Christmas 🎄 present Ollie. I think Santa 🎅 wants you to go out to the Blue & catch that 40kg Kingie in Style.
    That Smile is going to take a while to wear off, maybe it needs a Name.
    Cheers 🍻 From Aus 🇦🇺

    @AH-wn6dw 2 роки тому

    Awesome stuff Ollie, that's going to open up another chapter of amazing adventures! With the lowrance exposed like that the plug is the weakest link might be worth a solution to protect the connection from salt. You could make a gun rack to tuck under the side.... Long as dive flag pole might be an asset. Have fun on the new waka! Looks mint!

  • @andremilos9898
    @andremilos9898 Рік тому

    Hello Ollie. Congratulations to your new boat. Quite impressive. Allow me to make two comments:
    - The fin holder is really cool. Have you ever tried putting the fins from the bottom up so that they stand on the foot pockets?
    - I didn’t see a built in fish case. I assume you always have the cooler with you.
    Thank you, Andre.

    I'd get some rubber sheet down in your weight belt storage to prevent damage and foam in your dry storage or your phone will be dry but in bits if its rough 🤔 Stoked for you and just a wee bit jelly... Look fwd to more of your inspirational vids
