LOL, u gotta get me one of those...
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.

25-08-07, 16:39 GMT+10#95 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...
