Anything will pretty much pull anything out of the water.The question is how good is the ramp, your tyres? Ramp composition, slime, gradient, weight over your drive axles, tyre condition , tackiness will all effect it and when you start wheel spinning/ sliding back into the water. Personally I would go on a high tide, check the ramp is in good nick and throw a wheel chock under your cars back wheels for etc security. i have a 550kg tinny and a 4wd hilux with off road tyres that spun in 4wd pulling my boat out of a ramp down Wollongong giving me a fright..Ramp was wet, slippery and slimey.

One of dozens I have.I live in them.Free advertising.Served 20yrs.I know Stewy served at ingleburn.Small world. No more yelling at flies wearing it.And swearing at them.They never listen.

Just remembered just now replying to a post with @mrsswordfisherman about gardening and lawns. I’m a keen Gardner, do every thing yourselfer/Magyver doesn’t have a chance selfer. Anyway the other day I was out in the garden working all day wearing my new gardening hat I bought and love when late in the evening the mrs comes out and asks if I can quickly duck out to Woolies up the road and get some chops for dinner. Like usual I put tools down, grab my wallet and keys and rush off out the door to get it. I park up, get out the car and start walking through the car park towards the entry. As I’m walking 2 seperate woman are walking towards me and as they pass they say hi with half a smile/grin and I notice a few people looking and look away. Anyway I don’t take much notice or really think anything go inside, wonder to the meat section grab the chops and head to the self serve.The shop was busy and people would look “as they do and look away “. Anyway I paid and on my way out I noticed people looking at me when they were walking in.I thought geez I must be too grubby this time as I always have my old work shirt on etc in the garden. Anyway I make it back to my car, hop in, buckle up, start car, put it in reverse and look in the rear vision mirror to reverse out the parking when the penny drops why they were all remarking and looking at me. This is exactly how I was dressed when I went inside to buy chops that day.😂😂😂😂😂 They must have thought I was the masked bandit there to rob them.😂😂😂 Hope you guys had a good laugh at my expense. ps I’ll try to remember to take my hat off next time.😂

I know it well. Father in-law is a vip there. Sorry wrong photo that’s when I scalped it down to dirt and scarified it renovating it the other week. Same lawn 12 days later taken today needs a mow but too wet and coming back nicely.Lawn how I usually have it.And some strawberries I just picked for my brekkie cereal so I don’t lose my sexiness and ability to catch all @Yowie‘s fish.😂

Good on him.Nothing beats a great looking lawn and garden.I love my garden and spend hours out there when I can. As for mower shops I haven’t used a mower shop ever to service anything only to buy. Here’s a photo of my lush green lawn.

Fair enough.The key with any lawn is to make it as obstacle free as possible and if you don’t have them put in mowing strips.

Pgr is your friend if you want to mow less and have good grass coverage. Nothing beats a good petrol rotary mower.Even better yet cylinder mower. Be mindful the battery mowers don’t cut real low and some don’t do wet/damp long grass to good.And the battery life isn’t the best. Saying all that I bought the mother in-law and Ego 56v self propelled and even though it’s basically a plastic toy with a tiny catcher she seams happy except it won’t go low enough on her couch. Just by you telling us you basically don’t care about your lawn and despise mowing then I think you’ll find pretty much any battery mower will suffice for what you want. I mow at least 3-4 times a week at this time of year and have mown daily at times if I take my lawn down to 8mm or so in height. Hence my cylinder mowers, and scarifier. Like I say do your research when shopping but basically the Ego brand still is right up there for battery.

Agree with @noelm that boat is way underpowered and you’ll be straining that motor chewing through fuel at the same time. Another 3 people on board 110kg? Are they 1 month olds?I weigh 124kg alone.😅 I have a 30hp on a tinny way lighter than that.

You always manage a decent feed mate.👍

I agree with what you’re saying too.We change baits & rigs to suit which is essentially what you’re saying. like now I know if I went ti the lake and drifted a nipper or prawn down the channel along the islands I’d catch flathead if I wanted to target them. And whiting on beach worms on a #4 l/s hook over the sand flats and in channel. Most places we fish we don’t really know like say yourself and guys like yowie as we are far from master anglers and try to find likely places and try several rigs/baits to see “what’s around”.Have a scout I guess.

You have it all planned out. I find with fishing you’re likely to catch anything with anything even in the same spot as I’ve proven to myself many times or nothing at all. Remember the old wall in the lake where the fishing platform is now? We use to fish there for “anything” using different baits and have caught flathead, bream, tailor, whiting, blackfish,flounder, at various times sitting in the same spot using the same bait.Other times fishing the same spot and baits we haven’t even had a nibble. This has happened to us everywhere we’ve been fishing so it tells me if the fish are there you will catch them fishing anywhere from any spot.Maybe I have it all wrong I don’t know that’s what I’ve found anyway.

Living local is a different ball game mate.You can just walk down have a look and say bugger this I’m going back home or take your boat to the ramp and it’s packed and say the same. When it takes me 2hr drive or so return trip and money in fuel etc we go for at least 6hrs or more to make it worthwhile.We use to leave home at 5am and come home at 9-10pm back in the day and make a day of it. I can’t do that these days.

I think so too.$10 a chair. The price is the best part.They are strong chairs.Should do us fine.

Do you want a new wife? You’ll get along really well after reading your last comments.

Me- A comfy chair, small tackle box with everything I need inside,net, bucket, food & drink, sunscreen, hat, insect repellant, esky and ice in car, maybe clothes in car too. Mrs- All the above plus her cats, dogs, horses, birds, extra food for 3 months for us and animals, 5 seater lounge, side by side fridge/freezer, oven, 12 different sets of clothes each to cover 4 seasons, her phone, computer and tv, 3 thermoses of coffee incase one leaks, 8 different boxes of munchies to pick,Wipes, paper towels and a block of toilet paper from Costco incase, croissants and muffins from Costco incase she gets peckish on drive home and her mum if she can fit in the car after I’ve packed everything else. What do you guys class as essentials when land based?

I know I’ll feed them while sitting in it.Does that count or not really?

Seen that one mate.Looks like a great chair.

I saw those mate .I’ve been looking everywhere.Cheers.I’m 124kg of pure manly sexiness.😂😂

I’ve had a few stacks over the years.Funniest chair incident I seen was the father in-laws chair collapse and he grabbed onto the table cloth at a family wedding dragging all the 💩 off the table onto the floor.😂😂

Thanks for the replies guys I found some on fb marketplace local rated to 150kg.The green one has a 2 small cigarette burns (cosmetic).Other than that they are like brand new. Oztrail resort 5 is the model. I paid $20 for both and just cleaned them. They are like $75 each new so i call it a win. A very happy camper.Well fisherman or bait feeder hey @Yowie.😂😂

Hi guys, any recommendations on fishing/camping chairs rated to at least 120-130kg no more than $50 each or so if possible. The lighter and easier to pack the better our old ones were like this but that was when we were all significantly lighter. cheers.

Back in the late 70s early 80s they were around.Appin/MacArthur has gotten huge in the 40 odd years I’ve been here and not for the better like everywhere else mate there’s less bush, vacant land and even koalas.We get koalas.Lots more traffic, people, congestion in general and will only get worse everywhere.

For me In short parents from Uruguay(Best soccer team and bbq in the world).I was .born there in 74, came to Oz in 7 when I was 2.5 yrs old. Lived in Hostel in Guildford /Yennora for a while until we rented a house in Yennora until we moved to Campbelltown in 79.Grew up in MacArthur my whole life basically until I left the family home and bought a house in 95. in 2001 we put our money together with family and bought 100 acres property in Appin and have all sorts of animals and horses. Waiting 10-15 yrs for developers as it will be worth enough for all of us to walk away with 10s of millions by the time I’m 60-65. We came to Australia with our suitcase and clothes on our backs. Uruguay to this day if you ask anyone that’s been will tell you it’s a poor country with genuine friendly people.

You’re making money not losing it mate as you said.In a week or two once the deed is done you’ll be wondering what all the fuss was about. just make sure you understand 100% that the new house will NEVER replace the old house in terms of all the hard work put into it and what will become family history left behind on it.

Agree with what you’re saying especially the $$$ to change over. I think you’ll find that your tilt tube is plugged and is the same.Not sure from the picture. My theory in relation to the tiller is if it can be put on in the first place….I promise you I’ll remove it. Noise? What?😂 We haven’t given the noise it makes a second thought since we’ve had it. It certainly wouldn’t be like a 4 stroke that’s for sure. These outboards will outlive humanity if you look after them. Very happy with the engine for what it is mate overall.
