Oceanic Fabs really need to get their website up and running, it looks like they make great boats but for those of us on the other side of the country being able to see their work online might make a few sales.
what is the rear hull dead rise? that boat is a work of art. That engine is heaps, despite what the haters say. I have 100hpx2 yamahas on my 8m custom and its heaps. 8mm hull = tank of the sea.
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 thanks for the feedback, the QSB5.9 cummins marine comes in at 658kg, that includes turbo and aftercooler. then cooling system,exhaust system, gearbox and shaft to be added. you could mount the engine in the centre/ish of the boat to spread the load. the merc 300 , weights 239kg. its quite a difference. what do you think?, thanks
Hi Adrian, my plan is to build a few boats then sell them to work out which design I want as my final build. This boat was awesome and is going to take some beating as there is very little I would change on my keeper boat:)
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 Keep up the good work mate, I enjoy your video's, as I said, any tips or pointers on things you don't like would be appreciated as all boats have them, I am planning a build with oceanic myself one day.
@@adrianfalconer1671 Cheers mate, look if I had to pick something I would change on my next big boat, I would add another transom door so have one on each side. When it comes to building your own custom boat is you have total control over the set up and layout of your boat. I take all of my previous boats and other peoples boats,pick the things that is going to work best for the new build and talk with Aris at oceanic to make it happen. I dont dislike anything about my builds because I know exactly what Im building before I start. When It comes time for your build, I have absolutely no problem helping you out with setup ideas, just let me know and we can throw a few different ideas around:)
With the heavy plate sides and bottom does the boat drum at rest on the water? This is a very nice boat, but could be a deal breaker as most aluminium boats are noisy. I look forward to your reply as I'm looking for a bigger boat. Cheers
Hi mate, not at all. At rest there’s just a soothing water lapping sound if it’s not calm but that’s it. 8mm bottom and 6mm sides help stop the drumming, cheers and thanks for watching🍻👍
Hi mate, thankyou for watching. Behind the drivers seat I had a sink, once that dicky seat is flipped up. I would put my webber q or other cooker on the underside of the seat, Cheers
It's fantastic. I must appreciate your efforts. Could you please provide me the blueprint for the boat I'm inspired and try it on my garage. Thanks in advance
Hi mate, thanks for watching. Unfortunately the blueprints are the property of the designer, a guy by the name of Bill Plug. You would have to get in touch with him to purchase the drawing, thanks:)
By the decisions made on this build package its clear you've got sea time and know your boats. Only difference I would have made is a diesel inboard. The torque and fuel economy is unparalleled. There noisy and take up deck space though.
Thanks Dean, yeh everything is an compromise i guess, outboards have come a long way these days and definately suit what I do. If it was a long range cruiser for remote stuff I would defiantely consider going Diesel inboard.
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 cheers mate, sick weapon, you reckon driving comfort wise you would rate this centre cab (helm weight distributed in middle of the boat) over the other 8.5 full front cabin you have(helm weight distributed at front makes it feel bumpy going over chops and swells). Thinking of getting a set up 8.5m similar to this centre cab set up. but being 8.5m did you find it a bit big towing it around etc? (I currently own a 7.5 Coraline Cuddy Cabin) i find it way too bumpy giving me sore back driving it even tho having good deck space being a Cuddy Cabin. thanks!
@@maniyhy9451 no wokkas mate. The centre cab is definitely a better setup for fishing, the fact you can move around the whole boat, as for the ride I wouldn’t say the forward cabin was worse, but the boat itself handled a lot different. The centre cab was better in a sense that it would get up on top of chop and just fly across the top, you could go faster in the rough, where as the forward cabin was a bull dozer, just smashed through the rough, both super comfy, these hulls ride so good. As for towing, your towing 7.5m, not much different in the 8.5. I’d go 8.5 all day, you will never look back and go “I wish I had a smaller boat”😝
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 haha, thanks for sharing it mate, exactly what I wanna hear and definitely going for 8.5 in that case hoping to keep the weight under 3.5T for as i tow with a ford ranger. what about 2.7 beam you found it inconvenient having the over-sized restriction? Apparently you not allowed to tow in on freeways night time and thats the only difference. And being black boat does it absorb a lot of heat and looks dusty very easily? I can tell a lot of thoughts you had put into the boats you built, how long the the whole building, paint and fit out process took? Sorry about all those questions as I wanna make sure I have a good thought about how I want it to turn out etc cheers mate!
Hi mate. Thanks for watching my vid. This boat has nothing to do with YBS. We follow and support them however, I built this weapon of a boat for myself, check out my other videos to see it in action, Thanks!
Yeh hi mate, thanks for your comment, most of our casting was done from the front of the boat. We would often have 3 blokes throwing lures up there with ease, and although you the roof poles were there, if we needed to chase a fish, which we did all the time, we would go up front, around the bow. I never built this boat to be a game boat, more of a offshore/island explorer, Cheers
Righto bloke! Sittin with a mate after work drinking Turkey and coke watching UA-cam as we do and he shows me your channel! Love it, Sub’ed straight up! You said you’d answer any question! I am keen to go for a session on the big rig mate, how bout it? 👍 my mate recons no chance, I said bullshit! I’ll bring the beers and help with the fuel 👍
Hi mate, Im stoked you like our content, Ive sold the big girl are in the process of building another coupla weapons, so stay tuned, we are always keen for a fish and a few frostys so would be keen to catch up in the future:)
9 meter with a 2.8meter beam. I think she’s Definitely under powered. I bet out of the hull she is weak with 5 pob and loaded with fuel and goodies. Our 7.95 meter with 2.8 beam loaded with goodies (bait, Berley, beer, food, 5 pob) she’s weak out of the hull with a 300 yammy. I wish I had of gone twin 200s
Thanks for watching Luke.These hulls are very efficient, cruise all day with auto pilot on at 26kn fully loaded with a top speed of 36.5 fully loaded. Does 38kn half full with 4 blokes on board. Its not the fastest boat out there but plenty quick enough, besides, I like the fact it was averaging only 1.1L per nm which was more important to me than hole shot.
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 not problem I really enjoyed watching you show case your boat, She definitely is a beautiful boat and well set up, I’m sure you were sad to see her go and I bet the new owner is stoked. Also that is some nice fuel economy but my point wasn’t speed or fuel economy, it was power delivery when you need it. For Bar crossings and high wind/ swell situations. Getting instant power to get out of the hull is more of a safety thing on bigger/heavier alloy boats. Did she spend much time out in the rough stuff?
@@lukepaul2882 Yeh all my spots are between 32-44nm offshore. We fish south west WA where a calm day is a 15kn southerly and a 2m swell.We fish hard, go out when you shouldn"t be out there and have been caught out in some wild shit. If bar crossings are ya thing then I guess the more hp the better. Dont get me wrong, twin 200's or 250's on the back would be nice, but it did everything we built it for with ease.
@@kizzjd9578 no is it yours... its irrelevant I'm not saying to remove the stickers from the boat I'm saying I think they deface the boat... deep down I couldn't give a stuff but it's not youngbloodz boat either...
Light bars are great for reflecting light off the bow rail into your eyes and ruining your night vision.
Nah, I set the lightbar back far enough that the roof stops the glare off the bow rail👌

Yeh it’s something they are in the process of doing, but they have no problem getting work at the moment, 12mth wait as it is for a hull👌
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 The guy who ordered his boat when I first posted will be getting excited, only 2 months to go !! (Lucky Bugger :) )

Excellent work mate, subscribed
Very good standards
Hi David, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy it, got a heap of more videos on projects coming up 👍🏼🍻
Love the look of them boats, looking to built something like that soon. Thankyou for the info
No probs mate, if you need any more info feel free to let me know.
How much did it all cost mate,
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 how much?
Great trailer!
Awesome boat mate.
Cheers legend! Subscribe to follow along for our next boat build if you want 👍🏼
Great boat - I like it. Is it advisable to keep your flare pack in the electronics pod @ 6:40 ??
Hi mate, thanks for watching, I keep them there because they are out of harms way and nice and dry.
Nice looking boat mate.
Be nice to be able to book a spot for next years Carnarfin tournament!
Hi Mike, thanks for watching, and yeh thats one fishin comp Ive wanted to have a bit of fun with, definately going to give it a crack one year:)
thanks for the review, do you think a cummins 5.9 would work with this boat? thanks
Hi mate, yeh for sure. These boats would love the extra weight of the diesel. I’ve considered the same thing for a future build👌

How wide is the boat and cabin?
Hey mate, the boat is 2.8m wide with the cabin being arond 1.9m wide.
What a weapon! How come you sold mate? New one even better again? Would be hard to top!
Hi mate, thanks, it is an absolute beast, yeah building another fishin weapon, should have it early april to start the fitout!

Is that like The Youngbloods BOAT
Nah mate, this is much bigger🎣😎
How much would it cost to get a Boat sent to the states South Florida
Yeh not sure mate, you will need to check on freight costs with your local importer🍻
Great boat, would love to have one like that! to cruise the new caledonian waters! How much for this boat?
Hi mate, sorry for the late reply, this boat is worth in excess of $200g
You mind telling how much you sold this for?
North of 250k

what car do you have to tow this monster?
Hi Jack and thanks for watching, I was towing it with a f250 at first then a toyota tundra recently:)
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 ahh using the big boys haha nice
beautiful hull made unecessarly complicated ! And unecessarly expensive !
do you run zinc anodes or aluminum anodes
Hi Tracy, thanks for watching. I dont leave it in the water so only had the standard anodes on the engine!
What’s with all the ybs stickers
We just enjoy what they do and like to support them👍
What do u use to tow it
At the moment towing it with my Ford F-250 truck, but check out my other vids, I was towing it with my Toyota Tundra.
This boat was made for that Chanel called young bloods

Beam?
2.8m
Nice boat but to much clutter in the rear. No room to fight a fish. Pilot house roof extension keeps you from having casting room.

Swap your boat for my 50 year old wife that I’ve owned since new, well maintained and a couple of teenager kids plus cash difference.
