Australia vs New Zealand fishing comp
Having spent a fair bit of time across the ditch lately, the Captain has learned a few tricks from our Kiwi mates. So, we thought it was time to stage an Australia vs NZ fishing competition against local gun, Sam Connolly.
The playing field: Houhora, NZ.
The boat: Surtees 5.5 Workmate.
Conditions: 11 knots of wind
with 0.5m swell.

Alloy Artwork | Machina Boats
Переглядів 77 тис.Місяць тому
When it comes to turning aluminium into artwork, no-one in the world does it better than the Kiwis. One relatively new outfit making a splash is Machina Boats (pronounced Mack-in-a). The name is Latin and roughly translates to “machine”. The Captain catches up with builders Lee and Brooke Cummings and rides their new Machina 951. MB01RXBAHUYWD50
Hewat's Marine Archer 550 is one tough tinnie
Переглядів 25 тис.Місяць тому
The Archer 550, built by Hewat’s Plate Boats is a sub-6m tinnie that rides nothing like a tinnie. In fact, the ride is better than a lot of glass boats we’ve tested. What’s more, it has the deck space of a 6m glass boat. Let’s gather around Jade Hewat’s platies. MB01DET4YGUJYZM

Big Question Price?
Thanks heaps jack and the captain. I had an awesome time, hope you enjoyed yourself.
Nothing wrong with 90s
👌
Bruce Harris + Modern technology = Andrew Wish I could afford one.
All the gear and 👀
I tried to buy this, was an absolute bargain. She mentioned a bloke from Eden had got there before me 😂 was burning.
Its the tucked in shirt for me😂😂
Please excuse my ignorance, but why has this style of twin hull boat been known for tipping over thanks
Probably due to its high centre of gravity.
It’s amazing working for shockwave, Andrew has so much passion for boats it definitely rubs off on the crew best job best boats
These are the best cats in Australia hands down
looks bloody good Cam! nice work. Cam is a top bloke!
Ha
Please show us the way to set it up of trailer for glassing please...!
Sweet
Interesting video I guess they taper the edges so it overlaps with the next section …wouldn’t like the wood but sounds like it’s the stronger option probably the life of the boat for the first owner anyway
If the penetrations are done properly it will never be an issue. It's only when someone exposes it to water does it have a chance to deteriorate.
Very interesting and detailed presentation of the process. Well documented. Love seeing the VMR Shockwaves out and about!
This bloke knows what it’s all about. Great episode, love the big tiller.🤘
hey guys just wondering what the roughly 6 inch side rails are called as i want to add them to my boat but cant fing any diy vids as i dont know what theyre called
Absolute Dream Boat 💯
I built social ski, ski race and fishing boats for 10 years. I always doubted using synthetic materials in the transom over Ply. Seems my doubts were justified. Fibreglassing really does suck badly.
I like to see a trailer boat under 3.5T. Good looking boat
They know how too build a strong boat these guys
Gee rough gig for the apprentice
Literally rough😮
Possibly the most informative vacuum infusion build video I have seen. Super sweet boat, so many nice design features. Answered a few of my questions regarding vacuum infusion but still got some.
What’s your questions I work there and could possibly be able to answer them if not will definitely find out
Great presentation of the build process really enjoyed it. Thank you
Absolutely froth the Sea rescue shockwave, these guys make some primo boats...
I have a seakeeper on my boat (a fair bit bigger and with a more sensible deadrise) and it’s awesome. Spool it up while running offshore and then it’s good when there. Makes the day so much less tiring. Good for us older guys who’ve earnt it ha
Good god that’s a gorgeous boat
The Tasman!! Shaft trailer boat ...game changer !!
Dude’s definitely underselling his fishing credentials
Danger did it first
“Just don’t forget your bloody pants”😂😂 Your old man looked like a fun bloke to be around. Great resto, and brilliant vid - keep up the good work!
Great video captin. Love the laid back interview style
But why?
Love the boat. Top spot to stay too by the looks of things.
Ripper video Great speaker you are Ned Cheers fellas, great vid
Thought that was Shauno Whale for a second LOL
Haha same bro! Shauno 15 years ago. Even the voice on the lad
As a crows fan, this is the best thing that's happened all weekend long
😂😂😂😂😂
favourite boat at the boat show.epic
Fantastic mate 🍻
The ride looks terrible… just copy NORTH RIVER BOATS..
based on a true story
A twin outboard 30-footer is almost always sexier, but from the perspective of an owner I'd imagine a twin outboard 23-foot 26-V is all you'll ever really need. Well done.
Ugliest thing on water pore people are going to go broke
