Hi all, a lot of queries in this one but any information would be appreciated
just got back from an amasing 8 day trip to fraser, stayed a great house at orchid beach.;D
On the way to waddy point I passed 3 cars in succession towing decent sized cruisecraft outsiders/explorers near happy valley.
I was wondering if anyone had made the trip to fraser with a largeish boat?
How you go towing around the headland tracks?
Do you tow all the way to waddy point?
If so is it a skull drag or is it done with relative ease if you have had practice?
I've been to fraser, moreton and straddie several times and towed a camping trailer on this last trip. I own a cruisecraft outsider 550 and would love to one day have a trip to fraser and fish some of the offshore reefs, although I am alittle hesitent to drag my boat and trailer through all that sand and the tight tracks.
I drive a hilux 3lt diesel and realise that my vehicle is not suitable for such a trip but do have access to a v8 landcruiser
If such a trip is possible what do you do to set up your boat trailer and car. would a leafover, bigger tyres, fish oil and extension hitch on the trailer be enough, or is the trip that sketchy it just wouldn't be worth taking the chance hurting my pride and joy?:-/
