WTB ~4m tinny
Submitted by Swompa on Sun, 2022-01-09 19:54
With the caravan gone, I need a trailer to carry all of our camping stuff around. I said to the wife that we either get a box trailer or a tinny and throw everything in it. Get a tinny she said!
So we are in the market for a 4m tinny (or thereabouts). We're headed to Ningaloo Station mid year so want a ocean capable boat. We will be snorkeling /diving / fishing out of it.
need the trailer to be Mickey Mouse and have a motor that allows me to get my family safely out and back.
have a few months to find our boat but if you have something please feel free to let me know.

Thanks mate. I went on a 3.4
Thanks mate. I went on a 3.4 out of Broome one evening casting into a school of busting Travs and tuna. A shark buzzed through the bust up and dwarfed the boat...
We headed in...
Cheers for the offer though I am set on an Aluminium tinny.

Good little boats Swompa, I
Good little boats Swompa, I have done a couple of tinnie's now with false floors, gunnels, led strip lights and other bits and pieces and its alot of fun, plus the little 4.2's are pretty capable offshore for a couple of people.

My last boat was a 3.95 and could have done with a false floor but this one is pretty great.
I have now thrown a drop down wheel / spare hub on the draw bar which should make beach launching less sketchy. Have also re-wired the trailer and riveted the license plate in place replacing the string and galvanised wire....I am glad the bloke did pretty nothing to the hull other than put stickers on as he had no idea.
My mate has offically used it as much as we have now and is taking it out again this weekend. I do the hours and he gets the use out of it.....but it is entertaining having options on which boat we can take out.
Anyhoo - time to take it to a beach in the middle of nowhere and see some cool stuff.
