Hi guys thought i would throw up a few pics of my OK prowler elite 4.5. She's not quite finished yet still having trouble deciding what sounder to go with & what elec plugs to get power to behind the seat for the live bait tank & anchor light. The component box box wiil go inside the hull & the dashboard plate will mount where the original goes . The two switches are for an anchor light & live bait tank. The crate- cheap but effective! Live bait tank inlet & outlet ;D Cheers shaun

Lookin' good there Shaun. I would really love an Elite one day, that or a Trident 15. I think OK are doing damn well in the quality stakes at the moment, especially against the Aussie yaks (unfortunately).

something i have thought about too, especially after seeing the aussie made Profish with unlevel rod holders and messy sealant, prbably would make a huge difference on the water, just not nice to look at especially at a boatshow

Not just that but it's everything fishnfreak. Those handles that look like they're made of tyre retread give me the shits and don't even get me started on the damn rudder. I'm all for buying Aussie made but I think that while they have some great ideas they need to lift their game.

Looking good Shaun. Why stop there? Darran and I have also added nav lights, cockpit lights, etc. My wife calls me Inspector Gadget - don't know why?
