North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

was watching this unfold at ski club couple months ago ...

I think you will find that was a FFF member.....ITZDAKID (sp) or his brother or mate??

Very sad to see someone loose there vehicle like that...seen it hundreds of times growing up in QLD and fishing rainbow beach and fraser island...

yep almost any afternoon sitting at the Ski club is a laugh.

I saw 3 dingbats try to retrieve a 4.5m dingy from the long flat section of the boat ramp, while 2 foot chop rolled in from a seabreeze. it's crazy to retrieve there when the tide is at the wrong hight - here's why -

back the trailer down- check
start winching it on the trailer - check
nose of the boat rises up on top of the first roller - check
transom lower in the water now and hits the concrete- check
wave rolls in over the transom and swamps the boat - check
boat too heavy to winch on trailer - check
boat now completely swamped from 10 more waves - check
tide has risen and is now up to the doors of the 4x4 - check
drive up the ramp dragging dingy over the rough concrete for 20m - CHECKMATE!


I've nearly lost my boat off the trailer going up the ramp, but no one was watching so it didn't happen

somebody told him to take a long drive off a short boat ramp!

thankyou! im here all week, try the schnitzel!

I still drive it, runs fine. I like one of the comments on the youtube video: "Did well to make it that far from Bathurst"

Cheapest submarine on the market

the vehicle might be fine now wait for another 6 months when the salt has corroded all the wiring got inside all the panels into the bearings the only thing you will be able to salvage will be the number plates if there not stuffed too
salt water is a killer on machinery
