Mate of mine sent through this snap of an inflatible he spotted at Green. Said it nosed in and beached itself, drove up onto the island to the shade for lunch and then moved back to the water's edge for a fish.

Thought others might enjoy seeing it!

sealegs, small hydraulic air cooled motor and 3 wheels

Got a spare $100 plus grand for a heavy boat and a slow (15km/h) beach buggy.

Well might just be worth it to never bachk a trailer to a ramp again and just drive it on.

Beware they are considered a vehicle once on land and I don't think you can drive vehicles on that beach so big fines.

Yeah I want one.

I believe that's my neighbours brother and uses it to get to and from his beach house @Bulwer. Looks the goods and apparently goes alright.

Would be alright to have a crack at one for a bit of fun. Don't know about a full time fishing boat though

Cormarant, I am not 100% on the location but i believe that is Boyne smelters in the back ground so that would be on a beach on the inside of Facing Island. As far as i know you can access any of the beaches there by vehicle.
