You could also consider the Polycraft (plastic boats), very capable, durable and good on price.
PS: A large RWD sedan such as a Falcon will easily tow a boat up to 5.5m.
I'm very much a fan of polycraft but there is no way you would be able to buy a 5.3 or 5.9 for less than $30.000, mores the pity

the wife and I arrived in south Durras at around 7am the surf was very quite, no wind and dead low tide, nice to be on the beach with out wind I can tell you, the plan is to fish till high tide, the possum set up the burly bucket and staked it out in the surf while I set up the rods.
possum and I release all fish we catch so we only take photos of average fish in each species we are catching on the day.
8 dart
4 flathead
lost count of the small salmon

looks like you have been having way to much fun, mate thanks for sharing,is there any chance you could tell us a little about the rig and method you are using
Paul

ok I am lucky enough that the welder at work will do some mods on the frame, like weld a light plate on the base and set the handle at a steeper angle.
the idea for a light is a good one, using led's will be able to use one of the small 7amp batters just need to give it some though to the best way to fit it all up.
I don't use live bait other than worms so I don't have to worry about that
I'm going to try and stick with the wheels that are on the cart as they are quite wide (3inches) and look strong
please keep the ideas coming

It's good to see other people hitting the beaches and getting fish, yep I'd be happy with them as well

thanks Graham, the light is a great idea as possum and I will fish well in to the dark hours.
I will see what I can set up with l.e.d's and a small battery

as we get older we try to find ways to make life a little easer , so I will try to convert this old golf buggy to carry the fishing gear to the beach, I would like to hear your ideas, even if you think it sounds a bit silly it maybe just what I am looking for.

I replaced it with a poly 4.1 have had it for 4 years now and all still good.

Hi Guys,
I have finally bought myself a CruiseCraft Galaxy but it needs a few things doing to it.
It needs new carpet and a new bimini, from the prices have gotten to date I will probably have to do the recarpetting myself as it has the stuff everywhere.
Can anyone here recommend a place to buy carpet or get canopies done that is good or reasonably priced or preferably both (I know you only get what you pay for) in the Sydney area. I am in western Sydney but anywhere in the greater Sydney area would be fine.
Cheers
Clark rubber for the marine carpet they got rolls of the stuff

yep red spot whiting is the most common name, they are a good feed if you don't mind all the bones, they also make a great live bait for jew, kings and flathead.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabilser which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh shit..."
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age.
SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
WELDING GLOVES: Heavy duty leather gloves used to prolong the conduction of intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 2X4: Used for levering an automobile upward off of a trapped hydraulic jack handle.
E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known drill bit that snaps neatly off in bolt holes thereby ending any possible future use.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry bar that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.
AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines , refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
DAMMIT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'DAMMIT!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

A top report mate, with luck i will get up there one day to have a crack at the big bad macks, and get in to so of those mangos as well.

there is a mob in Q.L.D. bring in flexihull boats, they are a 6.2 long boat style, and will not need a lot of h.p about 90 i think so this so this should help keep costs down, as a poly craft owner i can recommend them to one and all it is by far the best boat i have owned so far most of my boating is dune around Jervis Bay and have found that the 4.1 open v nose punt i have is perfect.
at this point i would say that if the wind gets above 20kts its time to head home or stay home what ever the case may be after all it is a small boat and it is better to err on the side of safety than push your luck.
