Got for a great price so dont mind having to upgrade the 1974 evinrude hustler 70!!! Goes well for what it is at the moment but could use more power thats for sure. Came with a new garmin ecomap sounder and a vhf too so all i have done is tidy some wiring, fit a stereo and a bilge pump. Now will try upload some pics, anyone keen to upload for me if i fail? Haha |

As such nothing was on board electronically or fishing wise its pretty odd I think she is the only one in NZ The front cabin was a meeting room that converted to an ugly bed She gets along pretty well 15 to 20knots cruising and raised her first Marlin at Cape Brett on Dec 30 - hooks pulled nearly at the leader. couple of shots below for you Pompey the LED one is some fun I had for Xmas they colour change on a remote controller |
