DIY Budget Boat Loader For Travelling Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- We initially used to man handle the boat on & off the Dmax however we felt that there would be an easier way. Unfortunately, during our research we were not able to find anything that suited us so hopefully if your in the same 'boat' (pun intended) this can help you out too.
Join us in this video as we show you & explain our DIY custom boat loader. This may help you out if you are planing to incorporate a boat in your set up but are on a budget.
Feel free to comment if you have any questions or feedback.
Thanks for watching!
Mate-fantastic video. I /we have the same set up as you.. BT50 twincab with canopy, Very interested in your motor slide/trolley. looking at making one for my 5hp Yamaha. very interested to know your sizes.
currently have a light 3m punt which is easy for wife & I to slide on & off but might look at getting something bigger down the track. so might do something like you have.
will be saving your vidoe clip for future referrences.
well done mate.
Thanks guys !!! I can’t even remember the sizes of the trolly but I just got a local steel shop to fab it up 👍🤠
Hello sir, I am from malaysia.. really interested seeing that side wheel for your boat there, is it custom made? Or readymade wheel jacked? Can give me link and where i can get one pair of that? Thanks for helping
Hey it’s ready made form road tech marine 👍🤠
at 65, age & injury means i cant get my fishing kayak onto the roof of my car. This video may change that, Can you please tell me where the winch was purchased from? Cheers
Supercheap auto (: hope it helps (:
That boat loader is smart. The rigs in Australia are so different from the overlander rigs here in the USA.
Side note. If you make a playlist with all your videos your fans can binge watch all your videos and helps with watch time.👍
Thanks so much! I will have a look- I thought we’d put it in the playlist 🤦♀️
Hi guys, I really know how you feel we lived in a caravan for 3 years with our two boys. Yes they seem so small and the walls seem to close in. You have to look after your selves first it’s so important. Also we found even if you have to go on your own go for a good walk and have a good cry if you have to. Very Very important you both have to pull your weight. I must say blokes some times don’t pull there weight especially when there is three kids involved and if that happens you can get really I’ll.also go see a doctor that’s most important 😂😂. Quite honestly Lena I honestly don’t know how you do it mate I think your incredable😊😊. Also how about trying to stay in one place for a bit longer say 3 or 4 days at a time as packing and unpacking is hard work what I am trying to say is just slow down and give your self some time to relax the best you can. You both really do a great job and seem to be loving parents. Good Luck and take care of each other. John🤒🤒
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Really appreciate your support 🤠
We are trying to find a better balance for us and our family (:
thanks for the video. Im about to make one for mine and will prob copy yours abit. Just one question do you ever find you need/want one of those collapsible trailers?
Hey guys thanks for watching. Not as yet in regards to the trailer. I think it would make life easier but we make do with what we have. Normally we set up next to a river so the boat stays in the water 👍🤠
Love the motor trolley! That's a ripper idea! Better than the other motor mounts on the market, sometimes you can't get the ute right down to the water and carrying a 45kg outboard 50m down to the water is pretty crap!
Thanks so much! It worked so well for us 🤘
Great video mate, thinking I may look into something like your setup for my upcoming trip!! Cheers!
Thanks so much 👍 oh awesome! If you have any questions feel free to message 🤠
Just a quick question,,do you tie down the outboard Trolley inside the canopy when travelling? Nice one. Well done ✔️
Hi (: yes we do 👍🤠tie down points in the canopy
That was a great DIY video. Do you know how much your boat/motor/accessories all weigh per chance? Weight is always a deciding factor. I like how low it sits btw
hi Anthony thanks for watching!! the boat motor weighs about 45-47 kgs, the boat sits at about 60kgs and I would be pretty confident in saying the accessories would be close to 100 kgs excluding fuel maybe 150 with sounder batteries and tinny mover wheels - we run a pretty basic set up because of weight limits but if there is anything else you would like to know don't hesitate to ask - cheers
Hey mate. Top setup. What size winch is it? About to build a boat loader myself. Cheers Denis
Hey denis 🤠 it is a 3000 pounds ATV winch , we just bought it from supercheap auto 👍 good luck with the build! You’ll have to let us know how you go 👏
Sunny and rainy days you have a roof over your heads, better tie it down first, we normally put our swags inside the boat for extra storage room as they are light, atleast you can do the boat on your own and doesn't need 2 to lift it up and down.
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice the best i see
Thanks so much 🙌
Best video every mate. Beats all the other ones similar. I have the Ute and the boat. Just need a canopy then I’m good to go. I love your boat motor idea. Awesome vid thanks
Hi Justin! Thanks so much! Glad it could help you out 👏
Nice work. Exactly what I want but I wouldn't know anyone that could make one for me.
I’d just go to your local steel fabricator and see what they could do for you. 👍
Awesome set up mate! How wide is the Taipan? Got me doing some serious rethinking of my set up now!
Thanks Greg! sorry for the late reply but the taipan is 1450 mm wide. It’s a head ache trying to get that perfect set up isn’t it. There’s always something that can be added. Good luck with it all.
Hey bud all looks great would you might putting up some pictures of the trolly you made I am in the process of making one at the moment
Hey Chris. sure can we received your message on face book we will reply to it there. cheers for watching!
Mate this is genius! Best DIY boat loader I've seen - love the videos keep it up 🤙
Thanks mate! It worked a treat 🙌
Great set up - we are looking to do something similar with our camper trailer. After some additional info on the slot in rollers…. Did you buy the roller on the bracket and have the 2 pins on each welded on?
Hey! We made the brackets up and just slot the pins in when we use it (: they stay there (:
Hi again - we’re working on our set up like this now and wondered how you attached the winch to your canopy racks - did you add a plate or otherwise, or just put it direct to the rack bar? Thanks in advance!
Nice setup. I really like your outboard trolley. Clever way of getting it into the ute without any back breaking.
Hey! Thanks for watching! It works really well and takes the load of our backs for sure 😂
Great video!
What would be the be the overall weight load on the roof?
Around 60kg thanks for watching 🤠👍
Good looking rig mate, custom boat loader works a treat!
thanks mate, thanks for watching 👍
Great set up. Do you have plans of the outboard trolley or did you just make it and adjust as you went?
Yes I made it out of wood first being a carpenter then took that to a steel shop and said can you replicate it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm considering what I should do for a trolley, commercial or try and sort one myself. Would you mind letting me know rough cost for materials and the shop to make it for you.
Is the winch just a eBay special. ?
It was from super cheap auto. Sherpa do the same size winch for a few more dollars if your after a better brand👍
there is a far better idea,were is the outboard, fuel tank, fishing gear, safety gear, trailer???? and all the other shit that belong in the boat, taking a lot of space in the car mate
It’s in all in the canopy 🤙 it works for us and our travelling setup as we tow a caravan 🤠 thanks for watching 🤠
Congratulations 🥳 can’t wait to see more 🤞
Thanks Liz! 🤠
How do the wheel go in soft sand beach ? Is there a limit or rule to how long the tinny should over hang over the front windscreen of the car ? Thanks for the vid
the wheels do dig in a little in the soft sand but we have now worked out that we can drag the boat up the soft sand via the winch on the car (:
Wow! Nice setup dude!
Thanks Moonsamy !! We really love it. Thanks for watching😂🐟
