Yep.. hearing you. Plus what we are doing more of these days.. But yep, you're onto it. Heave Ho goes on the market soon and we'll be upgrading. Not sure sail or power yet though...
It becomes a much longer trip when the hills are there. I was fishing wide one day and it took an hour to get where I wanted to be but the seas lifted and it took 2.5 hours to get back. Really enjoyed the video, love following your adventures!
I don't believe an autopilot would be a smart decision in this sized Cat in these conditions. You really need to drive them to get the best out of the boat. Normally its a dream, but its days like this that hurt. I cut alot of the footage out as it never gives the ocean justice... plus Jill refused to film 😆
Awesome video, some tough miles there through a tough area in SE conditions. Heave Ho is a solid boat that gets you home every time.
Cheers guys, yep, we've definitely put her through her paces and she's proved herself each time!
I can see yous upgrading to a sail boat. As we get older the toll gets bigger on power boats. Your videos are good , thanks

Yeah, and the footage just didn't do it justice so I left it out, but yeah it was pretty average.
Another great video
Cheers mate 🤙🏼
the old reef / island boats out of Mackay were called roylen boats -might have named the bay after them
Oh true! Yeah that's interesting! Thanks for the info! I'll look into that 🤙🏼
Was that a Spanish Mackerel on a squid jig. If so thats impressive!!!
Haha nah mate, just a little samaki minnow…
awesome vid, what top speed do the Yammies get to? Not as though you need to drive these boats full tilt
She’d do 48kts flat out, but pretty sketchy at that speed! Haha
Would having autopilot help with the long passages?

Are those motors 150’s ?
Hey mate, yep 150s. Plenty of go!
