AUSTRALIA'S TOUGHEST OFF ROAD BOAT TRAILER

[@NickHenningsen-z3x]

Hi guys the trailers look great, now I have a 4.9m and with all the same gear on the trailer that you built for the 4.4 just wanting a ball point figure just so I got something to go off cheers. Nick

It is over 3 years since we had it built. Steel and aluminium prices never stop going up. You would be looking at over 26k.

[@Dadsfishishingadventures]

Now that’s is one hell of a trailer. Love it

[@appetite4thewild994]

It sure is a beast

[@trevorcook3143]

Awesome stuff, that is one impressive bit of gear.👌🏻

[@chriscorrigan7420]

That looks a pretty good sort of set up you got there. I've been in the marine industry for the last 56 years and one of the biggest killers of any boat trailer is salt water in particular the stub axles. They rust and end up destroying the seals. I don't know how good they are but I believe there is stainless steel stubs you can get along with hubs, rotors and calipers. For the money you have invested there I would have gone the extra and a snatch pulley on the winch rope. Other than that , What a ripper. Fuel tanks, a huge winner. Do you have a wet ride in the boat? That's a different shape bottom. I like that. Love the whole set up. Safe trails to you both.

[@appetite4thewild994]

Thank you for your feedback. I do see the stainless steel Hubs used in the USA. There is a limited amount available here in Australia but I just haven’t gone down that road yet. We are very impressed with the ride of the Aluvan boat. It’s ride is a lot drier than previous boats.

Great piece of gear mate, having built my own trailers for cape York I appreciate the amount of work that has gone into it👌

[@appetite4thewild994]

We know what you mean , it’s a big job. It was so good to pick up and drive away.

[@MrSeqfisho]

Hi guys, just waiting for my 440 RazorS to be finished this month and I thought Dan's trailers are pretty damn good but that thing is absolutely next level. I'd be worried about leaving it at some of the out of the way ramps un here in the NT though, looks more expensive than the boat 😂😂😂😂😂

[@appetite4thewild994]

The 440 will be a great boat in the NT. Dan does a great trailer and can build to your needs.

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Awesome set up guys, love the new boat too What size donk on the back,

[@appetite4thewild994]

Thanks mate, we will have a vid of the boat coming .

[@cbillrun87]

That looks like Poona boat ramp 👍

[@diversify210]

When your trailer costs as much as the boat sitting on it lol

[@KingdomofCarnage]

Are these available through any dealer in the U.S.? Australia always makes the coolest adventure things, severely lacking here in the United States.

[@appetite4thewild994]

Sorry but he only sells direct to the customer and is based in North Queensland. Yes we do have some cool adventures in Australia, we are lucky we have so many places that are still wild.

[@BigGags]

Nice trailer!! Just wondering how the outboard support swings down? You didn't release it before you backed in and so I assume that you can do it from the front of the trailer?

[@appetite4thewild994]

Yes we removed the motor support bracket which is held into position with a pin. It is square alloy slotted into each other and the support at the back does have slight adjustment. You can change the height of the guide at the back to suit your boat by changing the length of the chain using a D shackle.

[@Thirty2_1_Zero]

Gday guys, awesome Trailer, do you mind sharing what it Cost? Thanks,

[@appetite4thewild994]

We had ours customised for our needs. You would be best off getting a quote from taite trailers but for a standard tandom trailer guessing around 25K

[@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120]

TAKE IT UP TO CAPE YORK THEN TELL US IF IT SURVIVED 🤣 THE TRIP 😁

[@appetite4thewild994]

Well it has been to the Cape and back and the trailer preformed magnificently, we could not be happier with how it went.

[@FroggysGoldProspecting]

I was hoping you took the boat back up and took the leg support off 😂

[@terryneed8309]

Do you find a tandem set up better for the corrugated roads or does single axel handle better?

[@appetite4thewild994]

Most definitely the tandom is the way to go. We reduce tyre pressure as you do on the single axel which gives you a better ride when you hit the dirt. 200% better on washouts and rough tracks.

[@nathanpodmore4602]

I'd never build anything Alloy for offroading or corrugations. They always eventually fail.

[@terryneed8309]

Awesome trailer. Can you give me a ball park figure what the cost was ? Looking to get one built for a 435 quintrex

[@appetite4thewild994]

It varies depending on single or dual axle and extras like fuel tanks and tool boxes. You are best off to call Dave at Barra Tracker Trailers 07 40954530

No trailer is "unbreakable" chief

[@appetite4thewild994]

Been to the Cape York and back, survived so far😂

[@iandickinson342]

@@appetite4thewild994 Not knocking your trailer which I think is a bloody ripper and looks very capable , but the Cape road is just another dirt road.

[@FroggysGoldProspecting]

You need to put the trailer in the water

[@appetiteforthewild]

What size tyres you running on the trailer

[@appetite4thewild994]

Standard Toyota 79 GXL tyres and rims. 265/70/16
