Mainly fine tuning Ed. My use is a bit different to the previous owner so I need to replace the hatch cover and I like a different anchor trolley set up. Need to also do something with the rear well (custom make a box and cover). I have a scotty triple mount due to land that I'll probably flush mount on the hatch and de-mount for travel. After that, a good polish and it's happy endings....

Just back from NSW so had to rough mount a couple of rod holders to add some early mojo.

Ed - you're right, I often fish enclosed estuaries for big flathead and northern rivers for bass so will keep the Espri for this. Often the only time I get out is on annual leave which usually means a trip north. Mainly bought the dorado for PPB and WPB but some real blue water is likely when I have time to get my fitness up. Work circumstances have changed for the better which should free up more weekends to fish locally.

Kelly - agree on all points. One of those boats you grow into quickly. Was looking at a Stealth until this one popped up. Might put some film up of a recent trip when I get a chance to edit - photos don't really do them justice.

Do yourself a favour and search VARP and dorado on that other forum. That guy has spent countless hours getting his dorado setup and came up with a most cream worthy result. Setup aside a few hours cos it will mostly be the ramblings of a crazed lunatic but there is a few gems in there. And Varp, if your watching, come out and play...
Top boat by the way. Im very jealous.
