Ep46 Bigger & Better! Our BEST Fishing Boat Upgrades to explore Western Australia & WHY we DID it 4K

‪@Hookedonwildventures‬ We've just completed a major overhaul of our 9.5m plate boat, gearing up for an extended fishing expedition in Western Australia. This upgrade includes a brand new Minn Kota electric motor for precise positioning, a massive solar and lithium battery system for total off-grid freedom and a switch to a 3.6m tinny for accessing shallow waters. We've also installed custom stabiliser legs to ensure stability during low tides. Our journey takes us from the Northern Territory to Karratha, where we're launching to explore the remote and pristine Montebello Islands. We share what’s gone into the boat modification process, why we did what we did and the initial stages of our WA adventure. What challenges can you think of that we need to consider when navigating one of Australia's most stunning, yet demanding, fishing destinations? What other boat ideas do you think would help? What’s your dream fishing boat? If you see us on the road, at the boat ramp or on the water, take a photo and tag us on Facebook, instagram and Youtube.
