SEXIE-RED, we might wait like a couple of months or if not tow it to narooma and portland a couple of times,and when it ****s up (like it will) we will put in the 502.. hopefully their not that expensive and we can get it very soon, we also need to get a gearbox, possibly a turbo400 with 3 speed and over drive or sumthing like that, an adaptor plate for the transfer case and later on in the future once the diff goes ( if it does ) put in a bigger one, possibly 9 inch..

Now THATS a fishing boat! If a trailer is properly weighted, it's a just matter of how big your brakes are. I've had issues towing a car trailer that was about a tonne under the towing capacity of the car because the thing was badly weighted. Correctly weighted, a Cruiser can to a 5 tonne yacht.

thnx for ur replies.. thing is, yes the car does pull it and it does tow the boat.. when the fishing season is on here, its sweet as, but once a bluefin tuna and **** come on at portland and the marlin come on at narooma, were shooting up there allot, for a couple of times to go there its alright, but then **** goes wrong with the car, because its simply not designed to be pushed too hard, its a pain in the ass..the hills is what kills us the most, with the foot flat to the ground and doing 15-20 km/h and dropping, and the revs dropping, its not too good. ny ways, we now know what we gotta do in the future motor/cars wise so thnx for ur comments, dnt need ny more help, thnx boys... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
