Trailer extension/Deep drop winch

Got another 3m added to the drawbar of the trailer to make beach launching @ cosy corner/peaceful bay less interesting. Also decided to make another winch for the boat. As i have taken the diawa back to the shop again to get fixed! winches cost me about $700 all up and have never let me down, no matter whats on the end it comes up! but ya get 3 fish on a daiwa and its back to poxy manual mode. but they slay the nannies! Will post pics of the build also replacing the drive shaft on my old winch for a better drag design

Haha that launch at Peaceful is pretty bad. The finger jetty has helped a bit but.

Hartmens is my pick for beach launching down there but not sure if you would get down the track would ya?

I admired that boat for ages on boatsonline.

I have been on a 7.5m version and they are a really nice ride.
