  1. Thanks for the replies fellas. I would prefer an overhead but will go spin due to it been more versatile. Im travelling so carry heaps of gear.
  2. Will a 7'ish rod around the 10-15kg mark work well for trolling mackies/tuna and also casting larger stickbaits/poppers? Or is this a 2 rod solution? cheers
  3. That would be great but I need something bolt on!
  4. Yeah thanks. I only bought it a couple of days ago and im trying to get set up right. There is 15 keel rollers so its fairly well supported. Im struggling to get it perfect but I think its is because some rollers are quiet worn, ill replace them and try again. also my keel is slightly higher through the rear 1/4 of its length.
  5. Thanks fellas. I thought it would be possible to drive on like this but there is still some steelwork to smash into! The last owner said he had the spring loaded Vs on this trailer but didn't like them because he had to move the winch post and the boat back on the trailer to stop them springing up behind the boat. He offered them to me actually and i said no due to his experience.
  6. Sure there is some information on here somewhere but cant come up with much. Recently bought a used off-road trailer. I would like to make it as "drive on" friendly as possible to reduce time around the big lizards. I'll attach some photos to see what people think and hopefully someone with some knowledge about "drive on" trailers could help Cheers all
  7. Decided to use a dam to start with, some good salt ramp recommendation would be good though.
  8. New boat owner wanting to find stress free boat ramps around Brisbane and North Gold Coast area? My main concerns are, having easy one person launch as I will only have my young fella me at times and the other concern is tricky ramps due to current or wind. Thanks
  9. I really like the look of the Renegade, but since I been looking at them and talking about them I heard lot of negative comments about Quintrex, about mass manufacture and been over priced. Obviously there is two sides to every story but. Ill look at some boat showrooms next week hopefully and check out as many brands as I can. Renedade460 was talking about the fully enclosed transom which for me (new to boats), seems like a massive safety feature, although I was keen to the boat as simple as possible so less to get damaged off road. Tiller steer also leaves more room in the boat and is over 2k cheaper from new.
  10. I intend on getting a braked trailer, want enough GTM to carry some extra fuel and maybe gas or water tank. Been looking at the Belco Heavy Duty trailer. 4x4 is a 70 series with winch ect, we have been traveling for a couple of years already so well set up in that department. I don't need huge boat, Im happy with around 4.5m, preferably a single axel trailer,, keeping weight down and also costs. Ive been towing 3300kg caravan for 2 years and had enough of it. I'll be chasing a new trailer and probably a late model used boat if I can get what I want. The All 4 Adventure boys have distinct advantage over me in that they don't pay for anything! no fuel, breakages, gear ect ect plus they have a crew of blokes, I have a Wife and kid! Cheers
  11. Just re-read my original post, missed out the bit where I was supposed to say I want it for creek and rivers mainly but be able to go off shore on a good day.
  12. After spending over two years traveling in a caravan it time to sell the van and buy a boat for the next leg of traveling. Looking for peoples opinions on boats, trailers ect and any tips or thoughts from those with experience. I plan on spending a lot of time in the Northern half of Aus in remote areas. I need a set up small enough to be nimble on the tracks and be launched in tight spots and but big enough to go to off shore reefs and islands on a good day. Initial thoughts are 420/440 Renegade with a tiler steer. We are 2 adults and an 8 year old. Cheers
  13. Im currently in VIC but travel a lot. I understand there is minimum requirements, but my question is can I wear a 50S which is a yak or water sports jacket for use in a boat or must I have a 50.
