    This is great news. To be honest you lost me with the offshore stuff. I’m sure it’s popular and people love it. I always loved the accessibility of your earlier content. Getting out and catching a bream with the best gear you can afford is something I could relate to. I’m excited for this new/old direction.

      Funny eh , cause offshore is why I watch Timmy. What I’ve learnt from this video is his ability to visualise the potential of an old tinny.

    Big shoutout to George again!! Man I hope you stay booked out forever!!! If I’m ever in the position I’ll order a boat and just pay the freight to get it south.
    Timmy once again you’ve blown his build out of the park!! Looking forward to seeing this beautiful rig catching you some Tucker.

    In regards to Timmy well done mate.
    I've been wanting to do some upgrade on my old Quintrex hornet but have been worried about the cost of aluminium so I guess it will never get done.
    Look forward to seeing you use this boat.

    When get money set the spare wheel on a stub axle so if blow wheel bearing can change over quick.

    Looks like you forgot to put an outboard motor support leg on as well Timmy, it should run from your trailer ( I think I saw the T bracket on the trailer ) up to the leg of the outboard engine when it's tilled up, giving you more clearence. It'll also take some of the weight off and stop it bouncing around on the road, especially those corrugated dirt tracks or in soft sand. Hopefully stop it from putting too much stress on the engine mount or worst case, ripping the engine off if you were to hit a tree stump or rock. Other than that, it came up a treat, you can come and do mine if want next lol.

    Commenting for the algo while still watching the trailer pull down.
    Timmy, I dare say you might have had an easier cheaper time to buy a similar boat without a trailer and then just build a trailer to suit. Nonetheless, that’s what project rebuilds are for.
    Hope this all works out well for you. Small boat like this makes sense for more content and less fuel.

    • @ontic2354
      @ontic2354 Před 3 měsíci

      Nah, scratch that, I see how much of the old trailer you re-used. Good budget job.
      I’ll be interested to see how the paint holds up over penetrol. I would think an etch prime and topcoat would have been better.
      Also, keep an eye on the new gussets and structural members-doing that stuff is generally good, but it does move the weakest link to a new place.
      Still watching and commenting…
