Towing 26ft Boat to top of Fraser with 2 Vehicles

[mustang5]

Thanks mate. The only damage really was 1 amber trailer light and the spare wheel bracket bent upwards as it impeded clearance.

Funny thing is ill just weld it to the position it's in as its perfect for access and clearance.

Awesome effort mate. You deserve good weather after a mission like that. Well done. Hope you slay em.

Holy crap Mustang, that pic of the car and boat on the rocks is by far the most epically insane towing photo ever!
Such an awesome effort, I hope you guys are rewarded for it!

Owen you are one crazy bugger!! Crazy, but very inspirational!!

Now go catch plenty of fish. - you've earned it.

Cheers,

Went out for a scout today for a couple of hours, mainly to learn going out and coming in. Some big swells out wide but made it out pretty easy.

Coming back was another story, local knowledge and experience goes a long way! Came back in and the gutter had about 40cm of water. Plus looking from out past the breakers it's pretty hard to decipher what's going on. Got in without a hiccup though.

Will definitely invest in an electric winch before next trip lol

Fishing wise scouted a few marks with lots of fish and got mondtored a couple of times but brought up some red throat.

Good funImageUploadedByTapatalk1364528888.570359.jpg

Coming back in

Sweet as looks like it hasn't changed much from last year thinking about taking the tinny over again in 6 weeks

[mustang5]

Made it back home without a hiccup. Hope to edit some footage tomorrow night

Went for a fish on Sunday. There was no chop, but some big swells with a mid to small period.

Caught a good feed of Parrot, red throat and a couple of Tuna, but lost pretty much every red fish to one of the 4 circling sharks.. I had a decent red on out past Gardners but lets just say I got "Redded"!!

Suppose I spent too much time worrying about getting the boat up there rather than getting the fishing gear in order lol

Was a great adventure and I dont think Ive had that much fun with Car & Boat in the past!

We had a good laugh over a beer after the days fishing when we realised we only used about 40 Litres the entire trip on the boat! lol Of course it was the missus who piped up a serve in asking why we spent all that money to tow the extra 350L of fuel lol! All a good laugh and a good excuse to head back out next week :p

Videos to come.

This was a great thread, reminded me of the Ooglies of the deep thread but with a better finale. Glad the trip went well
