Yes he did. I would go with the current advice.

And whatever happened to Steps?

Steps posted lots of very bad advice. He did have some good points. I know Steps personally. He is an over bearing know it all. I tried for far too long to be patient with him & took quite a bit of flack from others for doing so. Quite rightly too. I couldn't get him to stop posting nonsense or being abusive so I told him a few home truths & eventually he stopped and still has an active membership here and I suspect he still visits here from time to time.

His boat has been parked up for well over a year but his son has a nice flash Profile so maybe he fishes with him these days.

For those who are in the Steps camp, that's fine. I'm guessing you've never fished with him or seen some of his handiwork. He did give a mate some smoked fish a few months back and I have to say he did a great job of it. Some of his previous efforts were pretty rough though.

But anyway, I shouldn't turn this into a Steps bash but hey you did ask Big smile

Thanks Smudge, yes I agree with your comments.

Glad he's still alive and kicking though!

Letsgetem, I've finally managed to catch up with what drill we used other then mine. It was a Dewalt 795. From what I can work out it has much lower ratings than the 805. It's an old model, so difficult to find accurate info now. It was a lower end unit when available.

It pulled up a 7.2m fibreglass boat easily. So the 805 should make light work for your boat. Use the lowest speed, so you don't load the motor and battery up. Always use a full battery.
