what sort of boat do you have. and how many people do u need to carry in the tender. what horsepower are u thinking of ?
Polycraft 3 meter tender.

Hi Saurian
Pick up an old 10 ft tinny and stick a 2. something motor on it as well as some oars.
One man can manouver a 10 fter onto roof racks if you put a sheet of ply between the two racks. Keeps the salty water and sand off the roof too.

What could go wrong.......................
a 6 yamah or merc should be good to put on its bum
G'day saurian,
have you seen that flat folding boat that was on the Inventors, ABC TV.
a great idea, but may not be practical for boat topping and assembling at sea, still a real winner though.
the smallest tinnie and a 4hp, and it won't need to be registered.
just have lettering across the stern saying 'tender to ......... ' and stay within 2nm of the mother ship and you'll be OK.
regards
Steve
weight would be the factor if you are man-handling it onto the cab
Thanks guys , The boats6.4 m alloy very stable with full alloy hard top ,
with side rails full length of top.
You can walk around on the hardtop.
I think a 4/5hp is probably the go.
Jack 412 , my main concern you have raised , how do i raise a 50 kg boat onto the roof without smashing the boat or myself.
I think i could just handle 40 kg.
Luc , tell me more about poly 3m, sounds about right.
I could use an inflatable , but I'm a rip his head off fisherman so
the inflatable would be deflated real quick.
Gelsec , I think the portaboat is well ... not for me .
Thanks anyway...
i agree with Luc. really sturdy little boats. only issue would be getting it up top. what about using a small fold-down hand operated davot.
Fish guts ,yeh davit will work , but i only need to do it 6 times
or so a year .
So price and extra height doesn't do it for me.
What I'm after is someone that can tell me a model of boat that is stable to fish out of yet doesn't weigh bugger all.
And hopefully someone thats been there done that , ie : someone
that learnt by trying different setups ...
But it is still not out of the question by anymeans.
Ta ....
Fish guts , sorry just reread last thread , " fold down davit ".
Got me going ....
I know what ur up to judd half ur luck.
Teddy Bear , how are we , well someone has to island hop and fish up the creeks .
Just trying to find out what is the go in regards to barra/crab/tender setups.
Someone else is sure to have done it , and as you know i want the best of both fishing worlds .
Hows the battleship going ?????
JUD ..
yea pretty good nearly ready for its second trip.
I'm building up an old 14' cat with ply platform base with a little electric to get up some shallow creeks around here.
the young bloke rang me on his birthday this kuri bay sounds unreal hes free gaffing cobes catchin barra and jacks every day.The fish life there must be increadible normally hes not excited but he seems to be having a ball.
i don't know how u could have left the area.
