Mate I have experienced the same.. Asshole on jetski and missing my trailer. Lucky a bloke helped me put the boat up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What bait was used for the whiting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Totally agree jet skiers don't think about any one else. Some are just to annoy boaters. No respect with rules or speed limits. I have experienced this my self. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have finally update the vehicle, I ended up buying a cheap ford territory, as it is only a tow vehicle I'm not to fussed. Hopefully no issues at the boat ramp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ian, how was the territory with fuel and towing the 540? Did you have the AWD or the RWD? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

All, Thank you for the above information provided.. I have a had a look at new and used 4x4 dual cab vehicles , but they don't come cheap.. have just brought the boat so paying another 40k+ for a 4x4 was just out of the question for now.. My thoughts are , The Ford Territory AWD is a option at this stage, the are priced from 8-15k with average km's the tow capacity is 2300kg( braked which my boat trailer is ) I assume this will still be better then the ute I currently own, with traction at the boat ramp and not some much the towing ETC as this is the same motor. I have also phone a few suspension and for about 1k I can do new spring etc for towing etc. thoughts on this idea please? Appreciate the help.

Thank you all for the above information provided. the tow bar on the ute is 160kg ball weight , with max 1600kg max towing. not sure if I will be able to move the boat forward or back on the trailer. I can stick to the high tides, but I fear that one day I will get stuck in trouble.. I have a bit of time until I pick up the boat, to look for a 4x4..so fingers crossed. cheers

I have the AU falcon ute... so no limo Diff

Hacking is really dead... 3 hours i will never get back.

Hi, First time poster here.. I have brought a 5.75m aluminium boat, weight is 1250 dry with fuel and items in the boat i would say it will add 200kgs or to round it of lets say 1500kgs . I have a ford falcon au one tonne tray back ute with a 1600kg tow bar. My concern is when at the ramp, launching or retrieving the boat that i will not have enough traction due to the rear wheel drive and being light weight in the back. My main ramp is the foreshore drive botany nsw at this stage, would you recommend this ramp with a rear wheel drive vehicle? Any other ramps i can use? Im currently looking for a 4x4 but they dont come cheap,so may need to save a few $$ to get a 4x4.. Any one currentlytowing a boat that is about 5.75m with a ute? I would like to hear from you. Any help is appreciated.
