Was thinking today, as visiting Snappa Geoff later in week what he has done to his Mac 360 to fit out as a fishing weapon?  Here's a picture of mine to start the topic - this was setup by me in 2013 to weather Manukau Harbour - 3.6m long and as I have expected have been caught out in nasty tidal chops 3 or 4 times now and it has handled it easily. I use this in harbour and my Mac 420 (lower picture) for crossing the bar.  Cheers

Good idea One Way Traffic - have edited topic.

I'm onto my second mac now, started with a 360 and upgraded to a 420 a few years ago. I left the 360 pretty simple only adding a bilge pump, nav lights and a cheap lowrance sounder. It was a good little dive/fishing boat but I was limited with it here in HawkesBay as a lot of the good inshore fishing is over 20kms from the ramp. the 420 is great, only 2 feet longer but its a lot more boat. It had the bimini and a 50ltr underfloor tank fitted when I brought it. I've since installed a HDS-7, livebait tank, full lighting - strip lighting up front, eagle eyes, flood/under water lights etc, outriggers  and a few other small things. I want to get full clears fitted as in a quartering/head sea its still a wet bas#@%d.

It's nothing a good jacket and the diving mask can't fix but in all seriousness for the price I think they are a great boat and always feel safe in all but the biggest following seas

That's a nice looking canopy, would be nice in behind that when the winds up. Yeah having the underfloor tank is great, it frees up a lot of space in the cockpit. It's a custom made tank that runs down the center channel from the anchor back to the battery box

I have a Smartwave 3500 dinghy and since buying it I have:

Another interesting idea One Way - I saw your post a while back about front dolly wheel on trailer - using a spare trailer wheel as dolly meant it did not bury and you had a spare if a puncture.The wheels at back of your boat looks like will fold up if a wave picks boat and dumps you back on sand  or do they lock down?I reckon Snappa Geoff would be into that launching off West Coast beach in Mokau though wheels would have to fatter I imagine - is the sand you usually launch on pretty firm?

Damn sight cheaper than sealegs to!

This used to be our harbour boat, sold (more or less gave) it to my daughter and her partner, it was a standard Mac 360, Dimitri put a lot of work into making it as it looks now, it was a wet boat but the clears and bow rail fixed that problem, it's a neat little craft now, if you are in Kerikeri maybe you will come across it scooting about in the inlet.
