SOME FINAL PICS...their off the fone were now desperately trying to find a towing car... dsnt sound true but the landcruiser just cant handle it, if we keep using this car, in a month there will be nothing left. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dude, I could understand if you had a boat like this, but your boat isn't really that big... there is something wrong with your landcruiser if it can't tow it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its never going to be fast off the line with a boat attached man lol i agree with the above comment, your boat isnt even that big. the landcruiser should be fine.

thats what i dont get our sigma an old clappa sigma pulled our boat round every where no air brakes nothing in and out of st kilda's ramp ur boat must be full of water,

Quote: Originally Posted by ANK thats what i dont get our sigma an old clappa sigma pulled our boat round every where no air brakes nothing in and out of st kilda's ramp ur boat must be full of water, lol, i dunno man, its just a normal caribbean crusader thats had the inside changed mainly for fishing and a 400 litre fuel tank, i would love for u just to bring the sigma and tow it to port stephens and back and still have a car left. its not just the little 40 minute trips that were concerned about, because that close and it dosnt matter, but when we do 13+ hour trips with the boat, its REALLY ****ING SLOW and we do allot of these trips, yes, the cruiser will take it to those far places going very slow, but after like 2-3 trips, the motor will be ****EDDDDD, which is why if we go BIGBLOCK or something different, we might not have to push it sooo hard and we might have a longer lasting engine thnx 4 ur replies Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
