Micro Boat Upgrades + Some BIG FISH For The New Boat 

Hey Rokkit. If you want more speed mount your outboard 2 inches or so higher. Will make a huge difference. It seems like your outboard is too deep in the water. Try a piece of timber on top of your transom or a small jack plate. The cavitation plate should sit completely level with the bottom of your hull. Done this with my rib twin outboards and gained 8 knots.

16:16 great catch friend, loved the video! Many abundance and safety for u

That Snapper was a tank! “He’s jizzing all over the boat” lol good man letting him go to make some more

Your channel made me fall in love with the practicality of inflatables. I just bought one and I'm sure will be upgrading both boat and motor soon!

Hello Rod, great channel! Following from Finland, Europe. We have relatives in Brisbane and have visited Gold Coast several times. I recognized Tallebudgera beach in the end part! Greetings from Finland and be well - Br, Mr. Janne 👍👋

I wait for this every Saturday Morning. Love the vids Rokkit

South Africa is here 🤞🏾

you know it's a chubber when the line gets tight and pings across the threads Love the content. Have done for along time. And as a chef love the cook off's of the spoiles. Ty x

I love how you're always dialed in! Awesome little rig. I need to take my inflatable out more...been too spoiled with the aluminum lately.

great video Rod, I've been wanting to take my 3.8 metery out that system to get a bit offshore for so long but havent seen anyone else tackle it other than you. after seeing this though I reckon its time I gave it a go👌 some beautiful fish out there and nice to see that big snapper go back cheers

Impressive you let that Tuna and Snapper go. Those are prize fish for many! It always comes back to you though.

Shikamaru haha! I feel you bro. I've got the same boat with a 15hp Tohatsu 4 stroke. It's a little ripper, lots of fun. Great vid as always.

I'd try raising the motor bout 30/40mm, just put a block of wood on top of the transom. Looks like it's a bit low, cant hurt to try it!

That little boat is killer. Once you get that all figured out gonna be a fun little adventure rig

Great episode showing the different props etc. The 10 pitch might be the one after adjusting the motor to stop the transom spray from the foils and help top end.

As soon as that snapper came to the surface I had a thought "That one should be let go" and you immediately said, "I think I'll let this one go". Weird and cool. Thanks for listening to your intuition to let it go! ✨️

From Colorado remembering fond memories of Brisbane.

Thanks!

You are my new favorite channel. I truly enjoy watching your videos at night. Just very fun and relaxing.

Pretty fun tuning the boat. If you look at the video from behind, it looks like if you mess with the trim, you will be pushing less water with the motor. I have a Mercury 90 and I have to use a lot of trim to get the maximum speed. I just have someone watch the motor in the water and trim it until I am pushing the least water, seems to work as the ride is smoother and I go faster. Anyway, yeah, I bet a 10 would help but if you can, maybe try trimming the motor as well. Thanks again for sharing your time with us, still really enjoying your videos. Can't wait for some sailing overnight trips!

Enjoyed the vid Rod. Will be buying a truekit and this information on setup is really handy. Would be interested to see how you set up the trailer and how you find transporting it with outboard attached. I hope Truekit look after you well, you're a great ambassador for them.

Amazing colour's running down the mack tuna's back and they taste not to bad either.

ah man i was almost proud of you for keeping the mack tuna! no one says you cant take multiple nice fish home! that was a good looking tuna

Yeah as others have said rod, way to much transom spray. You've got a great aid by having that camera at the back to see how low your foil is in the water. Definitely throwing away some speed with a heap of drag there. Fingers crossed a little lift might get the 11P to work for you.

Love the new boat Rod!

Looks more comfortable than the kayak..... Good stuff rod

"what a drag"... nice touch

You've got the best thumbnails in the biz

Happy to see you taking the 330 out for a trip!

Awesome! I love inflatable boat and fishing! Welcome to Brazil!

Thanks Rod, bar crossings always freak me out. Hopefully we have a coastguard watching over you. Cheers

Mate I’d be curious if you raised your outboard an inch or so if it’d improve speed and reduce the amount of water that sprays up around your motor. Have you ever seen where the cav plate lines up with the bottom of the hull?

wow i cant believe you put back those huge fish. great vid. peace out

Never heard of Atlantic mackerel get called slimeys. Learn something new every day. Very tasty they are too.

I'm a Cajun from Louisiana. Everybody has an aluminum flat bottom for the swamps. But a proper inflatable could take me into the Gulf of Mexico for salt action.

Another ripper of a video Rod, Was looking forward to see you filleting and cooking up the slimes I have never tried them before. You should do a live feed fishing off the little red rocket. Love watching you go out in the inflatables, Once my tax return comes in I be buying one. Perfect for a quick run out to catch a quick feed, and use my islander for all-day fishing.

always this nice atmosphere in your video, love that!!!! see you next time

Hey Rod, I've got the same true kit as you but mine has a long shaft Suzuki 2 stroke 15hp on it. I see some comments about lifting the motor but be careful about that because you risk lifting it so high that it doesn't initially pump water when you start it up. Even with my motor fully down on the transom I still have to be very careful to put my weight right at the back of the boat when starting up to get it pumping. I've been through a few impellers and have been lucky not to stuff my motor. Not sure if it's a true kit problem or a Suzuki one but something to be mindful of.

Great job 👏 fishing 🎣

Hell yeah big man lots of hellos being sent from Florida!

so awesome...great fishing..thk you!

Hey mate just found your channel the other day really impressed with the way you do things on the water with your boat, and you were catching some really nice fish, which is always good. I have subscribed to your channel and now I'm going to start at the beginning watch all the of your videos. Cheers tight lines.

Pretty cool man, Mac tuna should be showing off our beach any day now and I’m looking forward to sashimi from one. Might give the burgers a go too. That little boat is a super cool rig! Cheers man! Hope all is awesome!

Great vid Rod!

Cars are always out by a few KMs, your GPS is spot on

Seems like a solid boat

As the others say the motor is too deep in water.I have similar boat 335 Aquamarina Aircat.I raised it 1 inch as it is set diffferent to monohulls.I have the hydrofoil as well i also put the trim pin out 2holes.Aim is to not cavitate and have no water spraying up side of motor.Allways look for a smooth wake behind you

LOL, your box of sockets and ratchet spanners, get some hard sponge, heat the components slightly and set them in the sponge. FYI there is a distinct difference between Marine silicone and conventional home use silicone, use Marine for salty environment.

THX for the videos!

Hanapaa! Action! Catch and Release.

All new vehicles from July 2007 were subject to much tougher accuracy standards that banned speedos from indicating a speed less than the vehicle’s true speed. They were instead allowed to only indicate either an accurate reading or one faster than the actual speed, and by no more than 10 per cent, plus 4km/h. That means at a true speed of 100khm/h, a car’s speedo must read 100km/h or no more than 114km/h.

18:08 One Camera Shy Fish...No pictures! ..Yoik!

awesome video man. I love your content.

Hey brother...watching your content from Fiji. Keep up the good work.

Nice jump over the waves towards the end too ha ha

the part where you added in shikamaru was hilarious for me I love naruto as well ! great video !

Jizzing All Over the Boat would be a great punk band name. Someone get on that immediately.

What an epic craft!! So cool

Nice boat Rodney. And nice hat 🧢

Another top fishing adventure but when’s the next Misty video? I’ve been looking forward to seeing an update on her for ages! ❤️

I have the same outboard they are a good solid motor

Water issue looks like the wheels catching the exiting water . Fit a small Hydrofoil to the cav plate and then try raising the motor a little at a time if it needs it .

wow how I wish all free to fish with your own fast boat. Take care man. Dont stop fishing!

Catch and Release 👍 Nice!

Watching all the way from trinidad and tobago 🇹🇹

You made that snappers day. Lol nice fish kid.

Absolutely love it

i love the boat and the channel

Cool boat, love it :)

Mate remember your main aim was to get the nose up for bar crossing, you archived that. I'd follow a lot of the advice you've got about motor height etc, your definately on to it ,great lil rig Allround.

What a stonking snapper!

Slimies and Yakkers! Let's go fishing Rokkit 🎣

I was wondering what an underwater shot of the bait would have worked or maybe a polarized filter to cut through the water surface glare. Would have loved to see the bait like you were seeing!

Quick turnaround time on videos despite dealing with sciatica. Legend.

Test your navionics and car speedo against something like Waze-which is really the app you should use for long car trips anyway-accurately shows you real speed and let’s you know about road hazards and speed cameras and such. Nice vid.

I used to race very similar boats in SA. Something is not right with your setup, it's dragging at the rear evident by all the "dirty" water coming off your motor. I would try lifting the motor a bit, and also try trim the motor out a bit more.

The donk needs to be raised , great vid as always.

Good fishing.

Awesome video bro.

Enjoyed it!!

Red was a great color choice!!

Geeez Rocket Man in that new boat 🙂

Starting to get it there better to have a little more power helps also to get out of sticky situations.Maybe give away the idea of a new Sounder you seem to be catching more of everything without one 😂😂😂.keep safe mate 👍. Cheers Wombat 🐾🎣

Some great fishing. You'll find that your GPS app is more accurate than your car speedo. Car speeds are typically calibrated up to 4-6 km below the actual speed limit from factory. Maybe if the 11 prop revs out less, but gives you the same, or better torque it may be a fuel saving.

Nice vid mate, all cars read higher on Speedo, usually 3-5 over 👍🏼

The push pull you are using as a choke is actually a primer pull it out then back in 5 or 6 times and leave it in then turn it clockwise for raised throttle could start a heap easier

my usual friday afternoon slacking off at work viewing :D

That cap creates so much resistance to keep the nose down but also bites down deep into the speed lvls.

Very nice, i just got a Quicksilver 320. And up here it's becoming fall and hunting season. I may be forced to do a hunt fish video!

"Potential breeding" good pg choice. 🤣

best channel everrr

That thumbnail is EPIC! also died laughing at that snapper jizzing on the micro boat XD

Breakfast is done for the kids, now its time for a bloody mary and rokkit! hahahaha

Yeah my Saturday just got better

I liked your old boat, it was bigger and looked cooler😎🎣✌️

Hi mate, why don't you just put your seat in next position forward and use the tiller ext to help keep the nose down

Crazy 'bout a Mercury!

I wonder if the Snapper Jizz shot was an attempt to breed or a last screw you 😂

Adjusting the motor trim if possible will help a great deal.

Just wanted to go to sleep…and there is the video☺️
