The trick is!!!!!!!
Brooky, the trick is to beach launch a heavy boat on a windy day and leave her standing there for a while when you got to get the trailer. Was a funny sight watching her hanging onto a 1.1 tonne boat with the wind side on
.

David
PS.... She's only 5 foot nothing and less than 50kgs (Missus that is)Cheers,

Originally had a 75 on it
Originally had a 75 on it PJAY... Got them to replace it before he picked it up as the kids wanted to do the usual ski biscuiting etc. As for towing I don't think I would even know it was behind the V8 crusier!!!!!

Clears will be one of the
Clears will be one of the first modifications. Good to hear the positive comments re the launch/retrieving has made the missus a bit happier... and if she's happy so am I
.
Paul, the floor tanks will hopefully get plenty of use and they save having eskies etc sitting on the floor.
Water test has been put back to Monday afternoon so hopefully the winds and chop will be up a bit so I/we can give it good tryout and pick it up on Tuesday.
