Gda’y all!

Next year I’ll be dragging the quinnie up past Weipa with some mates to chase barra and palagics.

The boat is a 4.75m with 60 4 st yammie on standard Dumbier trailer.

I know it wont survive the corrigations is present trim.

Been thinking about suspension, extra rollers and/or skids and wheels matched to the nissan.

Have you got any tips on what to do or avoid to help bring her back in one piece?

One of the mates goes every year with a 4.3m hornet on a much modified trailer that is repaired and remodified each trip.

any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Nifty.

Tip:

Walking the Crossing<br> When walking your water crossings its best to walk in the intended wheel tracks to find if there are any hidden rocks or potholes, as well as for checking the depth. Potholes at common crossings are often caused by previous 4x4 spinning their wheels after hitting a submerged rock. So if you find a pothole, check for submerged rocks. It's a good idea to place markers at these points so you can avoid them. Its been known for a vehicle attempting a relatively easy crossing to suck in water when a single pothole has caused the hood to momentarily dip below the water level, causing water to enter the air intake, resulting in hydro-lock and a damaged engine.
