Lotus Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 In fact at high speed the reading fluctuates as there will be lots of turbulence , but what's the use of scanning the bottom at high speeds !? The reason I put the transducer there is because at that point it will offer the minimum resistance to the water at speeds Quote
tturtleboy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Lotus, I was just curious. The huge lakes I cruise in have lots of rocks and sunken Islands and its nice to have a reasonable idea of the depth for orientation, realizing of course that depth can change instantly when at speed and that eyes and local knowledge are most important. Also helps in looking for structure for fishing areas when cruising. Thanks again for letting us in on your talents.

Lotus Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Seems like you have really nice places out there . We have only the open blue sea around us and no lakes ! Small Maltese islands !! Quote
Lotus Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 What do you think ? Have I ruined her lines or not ?? I am still confused about these type of shades ! Quote
Jay Lancaster Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 A little extra bracing on the front, and certainly along the rear of that top will go a long way towards it's durability. Quote
Lotus Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks Jay Lancaster, realy appreciate. Did you refear to some brackets that reinforce the up rights to the top ?. Is it better in this photo ? Quote
SteveVa Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I think the T Top puts the finishing touch on this boat. I like it. Quote
Lotus Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 T top sanded , sprayed and installed. Next is its upholstery Think will go for bage as fabric colour Quote
Lotus Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 The first fish landed on my Piranha ( marissa) boat and my first fish caught offshore ! . Albacore tuna 5.3 kg 12 miles offshore Quote
makenmend Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Well done on slimeing your boat, and good eating to. All I ever caught were Lampuki (think that's what they call them) kind of like mullet, from Sliema Creek off the minesweepers there in early 60's. Great boat for that area. MM Quote
