The Hains would be probably 2500-3000kg all up on a trailer, so not as big as your boat. We can do 100 up a big hill, and I think you will find the NZ is more hilly than OZ My brother is into fishing more than me... he mostly free dives and shoots snapper with a spear gun these days. Most times he goes out there is at least one 20lb+ snapper I�ve only been out game fishing a few times and only caught small stuff. Blue Fin Tuna would be fun!

The big snapper get smoked, the others go in the deep fryer, and the scallops on the BBQ

100 series land cruisers are nice. Cant complain about the nissan navara's either. Supposedly the new hilux's are pretty posh too. I drove a 90's model and it was good but didnt have the pick up of the other 2.

How heavy is the boat without the monsta trailer?

Go the dodge ram with the Cummins diesel.

Old effie, 351C or 351W. Pull all day and come back for more

go the vl mate http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/4167/imgp2940pe7.jpg

"- were looking at some 7.3 litre power stroke v8 turbo diesel f-250's (were waiting for the $$$ to drop" for the cost of that you can buy my xf buy a 351 + c4 trans for it! that way you get a tow car + weekend drag racer (and ull probably enough left to buy a jetski)

ayyys all, sorry been away for the weekend and couldnt reply. Those r soem good pics, nice big snapper. biggest weve got is bout 9 kg, dnt know the pounds though. im not 100% sure how much our boat weighs but its bloody damn heavy. Trailers comign along good, needs to have the brakes put on, and then needs the galvinising. LOL, i wish we could pull that quick up hills, its a pain in the ass when you do 11+ hours trips and u tow 20 kays per hour up hill, and were pretty patient too, thats also flat to the ground, and on 4500-5000 revs outa 6000, not to safe, but its either that or we dont fish We cant just get any car with heaps of power, it needs to be a prety heavy car aswell and one thats pretty big. lol, our friends have offered us 350's, 383's, 454's, but were looking for the car, power come after that. In a couple of weeks ill be able to tell u how it goes. ANK - lol @ get a vl, but in the pic, that vl's not towing it, the trailer dosnt even have wheels, lol, good try though, nd i would love to see a vl tow it, because it will do **** alll. thnx for ur reply boyss.

I would say if your boats that heavy you are going to need more than twin 140s to move it. Tow car is the least of your worries Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think they are around $35k each

give me an old clinka with a rear mounted 454 , blower, pipes over the back any day!
