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. Remember to like our episodes, share and subscribe and get Hooked on Wild Ventures.

About us!
We're Ricky & Margie, best of friends, nature-loving, happy existentialists on a grand wild venture in Australia. In our 9.5m plate boat, we're exploring stunning, remote destinations that were once only dreams. Join us as we fish, camp, cook our catches, and discover ourselves along the way. As we transition to both boat life and caravan life (Spin415), we're excited to share our experiences and learn from the road and at sea. Ricky, a seasoned Territory fishing guide, now has the opportunity to share his love for the water with Margie on this incredible journey. Follow along for playful banter, stunning landscapes, and the thrill of the wild ventures.
