p.s looking at doing river fishing and crabbing as well as some bay work on the good days cheers

[shortie]

seems like a reasonable buy.

I would get the owner to put it in the river for you to take to a spin.

Put in 2 people that will be fishing from it and approx weight in gear you wold usually take.

then make your descision.

[tugger]

Definately take it for a spin before buying

[rosstralia46]

Will do guys thanks

Test the trailer to car cable. The boat I just got was dodgy as for cabling. They pulled straight out and only 2 of the 5 wires were stripped back enough to be exposed. Spent a few hours of fiddling before figuring it out.

So just plug it in your car and test brakes, indicators etc

remember to sell a trailer with rego they need to have a current safety certicicate with it.

All lights will be covered under the safery certificate.

What vehicles must have a safety certificate?

In Queensland you must obtain and display a safety certificate on any registered light vehicle from the moment you offer the vehicle for sale. It is also a requirement for unregistered second hand and registered interstate vehicles to obtain a safety certificate as part of the Queensland pre-registration process (unless exempt). Vehicles include cars, motorbikes, trailers (including caravans) with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of 0.751–3.50 tonnes (t) and any other vehicles up to 4.50 t gross vehicle mass (GVM).

ATM is the trailer loaded and standing alone. GTM is the trailer loaded and connected to a tow vehicle. The GTM will most often be lower than the ATM.

I think that outfit is way overpriced for what it is.

That hull looks to be a early to mid 80's model and very rough.

The trailer looks good but you will have dramas launching and retrieving on most ramps due to the large wheels.

You will have to bury that trailer so deep into the water to get the boat on and off.

I say keep looking for a better deal as there is so many tinnies out there these days.

[rosstralia46]

Was going to change the tires anyway lance as you said they are to big but it's the best I have seen since looking and the motor is fairly new compared to alot which are 80s 90s motors

[Uthrax]

Another option maybe??

[doss]

what about this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tinnie-10-foot-6-6-HP-Johnson-outboard-motor-trailer-/300676879900?pt=AU_Boats&hash=item4601bd161c#ht_500wt_1171 will need a lot of work doing to it and maybe a new motor

[shortie]

remember the hull is NOT where the $$ are in any of the low value Boats.

Its all about the outboard

The wording on their site is a bit weird, sounded like all vehicles rego'd and unrego needed certificates but the next section says this

When can vehicles be sold without a safety certificate?

The only time vehicles offered for sale do not require a certificate is when they are unregistered or when they are traded to, or between, licensed motor dealers. Vehicles can still be sold for parts or restoration, but they must be de-registered before being offered for sale.

Thanks forthr info guys trailers do not need roadworthy as dad just built one and they didn't even need to see it to register it I saw the boat yesterday and it looked good needs work but it's a project boat and has a newish motor better than the ones with 80s 90s models taking it for a test run on Sunday if it all checks out should be taking it home needs some work but that's what I want and am more than willing to put in the time and effort

Then he got away with it. Cuase D.O.T told me all trailers have to be measured at least. Have to take into a measuring branch and the measure it.

[rosstralia46]

Me and dad thought the same thing as well oh we'll that's main roads or you

[tiotony]

[rosstralia46]
