    You have a self deploy and havent tried operating it from outside the boat yet..?

    I'd have to give it a crack ..not so keen on the swim part up here in FNQ though ...but i'd love to try it..How else are you going to know its capabilities unless you try..?

    Have you had any issues with the deploy motor ..?

    Don't really agree with we should just deal with it because our forefathers did. I have used some awesome boat ramps, 4 lanes with pontoons in-between and never seen a fisherman causing any trouble on then, in fact never seen anyone fishing on it. NSW has some unbelievable coast line and game fishing seems a shame to me. Guess I might have to buy a tractor just to go fishing.
