Boat Survey

Hari ini, bersama anggota keluarga dan mertua pergi untuk survey kapal fibre di jembatan 2, Barelang. Boat fibre dengan panjang 8 meter tampak lumayan untuk dijadikan koleksi pertama kapal2an keluarga..hehe..cuman sayangnya, mesti banyak yang mesti dikerjakan setelah dibeli. Mesti mikirin mau pasang motor sebesar apa supaya larinya kencang dan gak sakit di kantong. Mesti dibersihkan dasarannya dari lumut dan karang dan dicat ulang supaya kinclong. Mesti hunting Fish Finder dengan GPS. Wuih...masih lumayan banyak duit yang mesti dikeluarkan supaya jadi boat ideal.

Dengan adanya box air untuk umpan hidup dan kamar tidur yang lumayan luas didepan kapal, boleh dikatakan sudah cukup nyaman untuk dijajal diperairan Batam dan sekitarnya. Atas kebaikan hati penjualnya, kapalnya boleh didocking di tempat yang bakal menjadi resto miliknya dengan cuma-cuma alias gratis dengan hanya menambal sedikit biaya untuk penerangan. Yah, sekitar 300ribuan lah sebulan...

Mudah-mudahan setelah dicek nantinya, kapal ini dapat dibungkus secepatnya dan dijalankan untuk mengexplore spot potensial sampai habis-habisan dengan teman-teman yang sehati.

Today, I have a trip with my family and in-laws for boat survey at 2nd bridge island at Barelang. The fibre boat with a length of 8 metre looks quite promising to be the first boat collection of the family. But stilld, so many things in the list that still need to be done after the acquisition. I have to decide the size of the motor that is powerful enough yet gentle on the pocket. I have to clean the bottom of the boat from algae and corals then repainted it to showroom finish. And still have too hunt for a Fish Finder with GPS. Still have to fork out quite a sum of cash to make this boat to my desired one.

With an built-in live well and a sleeping cabin big enough to squeze in 4 peoples in the front of the boat which I think could be a comfortable place to rest when exploring the surrounding water. With the kindness of the seller, I am allowed to dock the boat at his future-to-be restaurant with just returning the favor by paying rp.300k per month just for the lighting to the boat.

Let's just hope that after the final condition checking, I can have this boat wrapped up ASAP so that I can explore the potential spots with some friends.
