Go the 4x4 if you can justify it.

Many a good ramp has bad days trust me

It will also allow you to plan fishing trips in more exotic (read ridiculous) places

G'day Ben I have a older model hilux 4x2. I have used quite a few different different ramps ranging from good to downright ugly. The few problems I have had I can put down to impatience or plain stuppidity on my part. With a little thought and common sense you will not have any problems with a 4x2. If in doubt at a new ramp sit back for a couple of minutes and learn from others mistakes. Steve

Thanks for the reply guys

when you say small boat what do you mean

I hope to get a small boat in a few years time to take the family out as I dont think they would like to be fishing from a kayak like Myself . I dont know much about boats but the type i like is like the Quintrex 490 that size of a boat .

Cheers Ben
