My cousin works on the harbour and sent me a pic of all the 1 meter king fish busting up so i looked up the closes ramp which was bayview park than looked at pictures and seen this at the boat ramp

So what has changed since the last time you went fishing?

Was a bit nervous leaving the trailer in the carpark i was able to get a first parking spot that had a fence on one side and another car on the other side

The trailer will be worthless to a thief b7t u can't tell a thief that they just see it as an expensive trailer, anyone knocking it off wont be able to register it but i will be 5k out of pocket and have no way of getting the boat home

Random people at the boat ramp have commented "thats a really nice trailer"

your all over facebook how many trailer theft reports have you seen on the fishing pages ?

stuff all is the answer and its normally parsley bay at brooklyn or kyeemagh at botany on overnight trips

listen to what people are saying and just get a wheel clamp and decent shackle lock

a thief is not going to take a random home made trailer that stands out like dog testicles over something that looks more common and is easier to sell.
they go shopping for specific models to match the vin plate and model description on the rego papers they have already to replace a rusty shitter.
Its either to rebirth a rusty ebay special to get good money or dishonest fishos who cant afford to replace their own trailers.

and thats not me taking the piss out of your trailer btw

I’d think that insuring a home made trailer that isn’t built by someone with qualifications isn’t going to happen , at least not for 10k if it only cost 5 k to build . Once again your kidding yourself

Wasn't it supposed to be done for under $3k?

That’s what he quoted initially but a couple of posts up he said it cost him 5k ,problem is you can’t insure for more than what it’s worth it’s fraud which suits this build . Matt

Yeah agreed you have to admit its a con job from Gazza to even expect insurance to cover this atrocity..

Seriously if its a project to learn from and enjoy the benefits of having a boat then its fine but from what Gaz has shown throughout is that he tries to turn what most people call junk into something usable..the motor that was junked and came in pieces that he has spent a few hundred on and at least got going for the time being and a hull that he has had a couple of cracks at doing a transom on and used a grinder on the outer gelcoat and the wiring, batteries and fitout will be cheap and disposable ....as an asset its worthless but as a boat to keep him occupied with a trip or 2 each year then its fine...to try and onsell to some poor sucker that beleived Gazza's BS and didnt know any better would be a crime or fraud as Bluefin mentions...

Seriously just compare it to the build that giddyup has been posting....that actually has value and will be genuinely insurable and an actual asset that could be confidently and morally onsold if he wanted to..

Nothing personal but as I have mentioned before..gazza just get it wired and safe enough, join the VMR and just go fishing...
