hi,going on yearly trip to stanage but this time i have a fibreglass 17ft,towed in aluminiom boats other times,am i crazy running the risk of damage,sure someone has ,any tips for protecting boat ,thanks
Just be wary of rocks/stones throw up from the tyres...I hear it all the time about fibreglass being more prone to towing damage but I have never actually seen it happen in real life...well no more than beat up aluminium boats anyway. Poorly setup trailers is the cause, best to just tootle around between ramps in the burbs if using one of those.
Go for it mate. If you have the time to travel up there, take a few precautions like stone guards on the vehicle & trailer, then fish hard. Not much else to do there...
There is a site on facebook that has all the information you need on Stanage Bay
This facebook site is called
"Stanage Bay"
There are links on this site to Monthly Fishing Reports, Accommodation, Fishing Competitions, Road and Sea Conditions. Also lots of great photos,
You should check it out
Just get some cheap shadecloth and a bag of cable ties. loop the cloth under the front of the trailer and then tie it to the rails on the boat. Also stitch it up at the front with the ties. Do that when you get onto the dirt section. Get enough ties to do it for the return trip too.
