 Hey guys looking at. A boat with an unlicensed trailer. What's the go with getting them over the pits how picky are they. The guys moved the which bar back and reckons it's just a matter of moving that forward (nuts and bolts) and the leafs are a touch on the rusty side other than that it looks ok any advice? 

 Hi all

Im a little confussed on towing weights does the 2900kg axle load capacity mean anything? 

They way im reading the compliance plate you can add 475kgs to the van is this correct?

Thanks

 so harley benell gets leave from training and gets on the piss and  gets booted of a plane flight   , the bloke is on a suspected  300k a year and hasent played a game yet , he has crook calfs , how can that be he hasnt got calfs ,  time he was sacked he has had to many chances , freo sent sonny walters back to the wafl just because he was a bit fat how many chances does benell get  

 lots of big bull herring are being caught of of palm beach jetty at the moment , hard to beat them for a good feed  fryed up  fresh on toast for brekey

 Well this doesn't surprise me at all, the shit I see on my drives to Seabird are fucking astounding. And I can recount at half a dozen circumstances of being overtaken on double white lines. These absolute morons think there is no reason for them being there, oh and the last one was a Doric work ute. I think sheer luck has been the only factor that there hasn't been more carnage and death on that road. I usually sit back and let the idiots that think they'll get where they're going 5 minutes faster go for it, I'm not getting sucked into their stupid life choices. 

 Hey guys,

Recently bought a boat that was on a very average trailer, luckly it came with a new trailer frame and rollers i just had to set it up i got around to it over the weekend and got the boat on it yesterday just wanted to see what you guys thought i had originally wanted to throw a few keel rollers in but the way the cross members dip down i think i would have to custom make some to reach high enough. does anyone have a trailer set up similar to this? I spoke to a few trailer shops and they all seemed to think that setting it up this way should be fine but i haven't seen many trailers set up this way and am a bit worried im going to end up with a roller through my hull.

Any advice is much appreciated 

Sorry for any typos doing this off my phone

 harley bennel  to pissed  to be alwowed on a plane flight today i say sack him freo can get better than him

Wake up australia  the face of the  game is changing more and more african aussies coming through to top level as are asian aussies  you only have to look at grass roots footy to see that and i think thats for the better

luckly eddie and paddy are both champions and wont let that crap affect them

Any kiwi, (especially those of my era

 I see NZ has been badly effected by the rain from Cyclone Debbie- Not good that the flood levy bank broke,and then jet boats going down the streets...only in NZ.

 It seems gone are the days you can get a phone with an ariel plug nowadays for a car....

Has anyone bought a new moby lately that you can get the external ariel for the 4 B????

Have at it fellas. Big game for West Coast with a few boys to break their MCG hoodoo especially Lecca, Yeo, Kennedy and Mr Poopy Pants 

Following on from Paul N's thread (couldn't post a pic in it)

I had some clears that I was keeping to use as a template to get new ones made - tried mr sheen on the weekend and quite impressed - good enough result that I will get another season or two out of them.
I have read on a few US sites that mr sheen will harden the clears and make them go brittle or yellow - unsure if that's true (everyone is an expert on the hull truth) but for me I don't really care as these were stuffed before anyway.
So I washed them first really well with warm soapy water, rinsed with cold water and let them air dry. Using an old t-shirt sheen'ed and polished each side twice, using a separate cloth to polish off the mr sheen. You have to put in a bit of elbow grease but as you can see in the pic they came up pretty good.
Once finished I did notice they were a bit tacky - that could mean there is more build up on them and another round might make them better - unsure and I was stuffed so hung them up in the garage to air - if nothing else my garage smells pretty good now :-)

 The Owen List  

let's see how long this will last--in the interests of the comp in general hope it dies a natural death. You could have made good money on some of the inclusions at the end of Round 2. In reverse order, lowest percentage first.

1. Dockers
2. Suns
3. Carlton
4. Swans
5. Hawthorn
6. St Kilda
7. North Melbourne.

Looking to Round 3, Hawks should be gone, playing Suns, Swans should beat Magpies, Essendon to beat Carlton, St Kilda should account for Lions @ Etihad.  Don't really like the Dockers against Dogs, would rival Lazarus. Norths v Giants?  So the list should be down to 3 or 4.

Can any one advise

i have a duel battery system in the boat and one has died 

I'm looking at replacing both as i dont know there age

but not sure what's the best brand I'm looking at two 550 to 650 CCA batteries to suit a 115 Yamaha four stroke

any thoughts on the best way two go

Cheers

 So on our way home from Seabird with son  Rory drivingon his L plates. Pursuit car up behind us with lights flashing making Rory a bit nervous but he  didn't want us so he overtakes at speed and  nek minute something flies off his roof bouncing on the road and under our car smashing into bits. Something that had a handle , looked technical and expensive. So he pulls a car over up the highway a bit and we pull up behind them to tell them of their loss. A word with his partner and an exclamation of "shit the radar gun" 

A little bit of explaining to do back at the station methinks lol

 Hi all. Just wondering if many of you still fish offshore around rotto this time of year. My boat will be ready in a couple of weeks and was wondering what everyone is catching.

 i was down at bent st ramp this arvo , it hit home how easy it is to come unstuck on the water , the boat the old fellers were on was being recovered by the water police when you see that it  hits home how every thing can go wrong so easily when your out there
