Practical use or Abuse? - Pics

The ultimate daily driver!

The skiff only weighs 45kg ... haven't weighed the trailer complete but I reckon it would be about 280kg.

Cheers
Shaun

I'm not exactly sure what the rule is with towing vehicles, but be careful. I've heard that towing with vehicles that are not meant to tow can damage the transmission.

Thanks for the comment .. thought long and hard about whether to do it or not, basically in only gets used around town and only with the skiff which is nice and light.

Thankfully the car never gets near a boat ramp ... the skiff gets lifted off the trailer and rigged on the beach which gets the chicks perving even more now the bat is there as the tow car!
