Photo of the boat on the fuelling berth before we made the reformations to the new deck and rails; notice the rails are white in this photo and Stainles steel in the next, also there is no Bow anchor or winch in this photo.
A more recent photo showing the newly fitted front deck, Stainless steel rails and most important, the new Anchor and Winch that has totally improved the bottom fishing options and increased our success rate by 400/500%.
