- I renovated and converted my 7 metre trailer boat to maximise space and storage for adventures across Australia. In this video I share the modifications I made which may give you some inspiration on your own projects.
Drop a comment below what your favourite element of the conversion is, plus any suggestions you have to upgrade it further!

Looks awesome man. One piece of advice I can give is to look at getting some fly screens installed, even Velcro’d on, to save you getting mauled if you’ve pulled up somewhere where they’re thick! Also means being able to escape flies etc to have your meals.. also grab one of those little battery powered bug zappers as they work well and you can leave them on at night and get some sleep. Hope it helps! Can’t wait to see what you get up to 👍🏽
Ahh great idea!
This is seriously next level budget. I could only ever dream of owning something like that! Its a credit to you mate!
Thanks a bunch! She’s been a hard slog but worth it 💪
Dream boat!! Will watch when finished work.
Awesome upgrades mate. I’ve got a similar style seat on the passenger side, it’s such a game changer with the fridge underneath.
Looking forward to catching up with ya up the coast. Next time I’ll see ya will be on the Sunny coast
It panned out super well! Sounds bloody good. Come and join me whenever, I packed a swag for ya so we don’t have to spoon up the front! 😂
@@TascastFishing hahaha
i reckon if you are sleeping in it up the coast look at a insect screen for the hatch and netting for the door nothing harder than sleeping with that buzzing in your ear nice rig
Tip... Don't muck around with those Ford slimline bearings if your going on a big mainland trip.
You can bet they will give you grief somewhere along your travels, most likely far from the nearest replacement location and when needing assistance.
I know its a big experience but your trailer needs to be paramount, I'd be dumping those complete axles, rims and calipers and be installing axles with Landcruiser hubs, I'd go with the 6 stud variety, specially now you'll be carrying a lot more extra weight.
You might think carrying extra bearings will be enough but once that axle stub is scored and compromised from an exploding bearing your rooted..
Been there done that....😂😅😂
If you don't think it won't be a problem at least carry a good grease gun and keep the grease me up to those bearings.
You need High Temp Grease with Molly 👍
Don't be fooled by using that so called marine grade shit grease, its a gimmick..
Good luck.. looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks mate, that’s a lot of food for thought! Great idea
Placed an order for a Yellowfin 7600 this gives me some idea on what to do with it 👌🏻👌🏻 if your down melbounre way hit my up and maybe go for a fish see how that thing handles in the water 🙌🏻
Love the new alterations, Timb’o. She’s looking pretty sweet, mate. Best of luck with your new adventure.
Thanks Wayne! Can’t wait.
Looks great and functional
Should fish the shoal haven river (green well point) NSW then get a feed of fish from the local cafe my uncle owns it best fish and chips in AUSTRALIA!
Sounds epic man!!!
Love it
Mate fantastic. I own a 2018 7000 southerner, and in June/July this year I am doing a 5 week trip of the north of WA. I look forward too seeing what’s working and what isn’t, and you have already given me so many ideas of stuff to look at. But a few questions. Did you address the leaky live bait tank and if so what did you do? The scuppers, did they leak and give you grief? Have you done anything to sort that? I will have mine going in to change the scuppers very soon. But if anyone were to ask me is yellowfin worth it? I’d say 100% yes, they ride well they look great and for what you pay you get a lot of boat. I’m really looking forward to your next adventure. Eventually I want to do a round Australia trip with my boat in tow. That includes Tasmania cause you trips look epic, and this hopefully will help with the planning
Hey! I had a leak, but it was actually from the flooring down to the tank. The tank also had broken off a few mounting plates from the west and tare. The scuppers have filled up with rubbish a few times and I’ve had to clean them. Just a Phillips head to dismount them. Definitely do your trip!!
So excited to see this videooooo!
Wooo! live in 2 hours!
Good luck with the trip. Not sure I'd like to be a passenger on a long run in rough conditions - sitting sideways or standing behind the box in the elements :/
Thanks mate! In transit in rough weather passengers have always stood on the deck and held onto the top railing. I don’t think it makes much difference, you just lose a spot up the front :)
Great name for a boat!
Hopefully it brings in the clicks! haha
@@TascastFishing lol, I’m here for it. 😂
Mate the radio would had been better somewhere else, a padded back rest sitting on the day bed and looking back at the spread would had been better.
Captains seat box could had been extended or replaced with longer box for rear facing seat so fridge would go inside with lift up lid on seat.
Had similar set up years ago.
We’ve been using the extra cushion from the foldable box for the back rest, works a treat. Nice thought for the fridge area.
Should have went to Reel game boats & trailers for the modifications. The modifications inside seem a bit cheap and Half done to me but aslong as it works I suppose
I tried to get a new catch installed. Time didn’t work out :(
Rude
dont use chinese bearings
