A mate from Busso flipped me this picture. You've got to be kidding me!. The little Evoque has a towing capacity of 16-1800 kg.

Pretty sure it's a discovery
Pretty sure it's a discovery sport, depending on model year anywhere from 1600-2200kg so definitely over loaded

Definitely a Discovery
But either way overloaded to hell .......and from an insurance perspective potentially voiding any coverage and I am talking BOTH boat and tow vehicle

pushing the envelope
Max tow capacity 3500kg (dreaming)
Dry mass of vessel around 2600kg (no gear, no fuel, no water...just boat and motors)
Mass of trailer easy over 1000kg
Gross mass 3600kg (no gear, no fuel, no water...just boat and motors)
big fail!
Cruiser owners will say they can do it lol......not legally they can't

Those of us who originally
Those of us who originally come from the east coast cannot believe how common it is over here to see illegal towing. Sooner or later the law enforcement agencies & insurance companies will start to take a firmer hand.
It's bad enough to lose insurance on both vehicle & boat in the event of an accident. What's much worse is the possibility of criminal charges with potential jail time if the accident results in injury to the other party.
Dhudreamer is absolutely correct in stating that just because a vehicle can tow a boat doesn't make it legal.

Tow till you blow ....
Um that didn't come out right but I digress , Samsung musos ( 2.2 litre desiel),( kerb mass off Ute 2080 kg) or whatevers are rated at 3500 kg so 3500 seems the new marketing target for car companies to hit ..... Engineering or commonsense be dammed....

Mermaids
Mermaids occasionally turn up at the cut ramp.
Also checked for over width.
Haven't seen them at the Dawesville ramp yet, guess they will be there too.

I remember when cops set up
I remember when cops set up at shady opening one year. Half the boat trailers got turned around for no rego. I was just glad they didn't spot the 308 on the back floor of the shorty.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Plus
Fuel 450l capacity
water 180l capacity
Motors 2 X 220kg
So another tonne just on the boat itself, before the fitout bits and pieces and any gear added, not to mention trailer and whatever is in and on the vehicle. Illegal, but "all good" until it's not.
