It's brilliant hey Phil... I've owned her a while now and still look over her in admiration for the design features that make it so practical for what we're doing.
Glad I found this clip. A very useful setup. It reminds me of one my Grandpa built n the mid-1960s. Utilizing steel tubing and a winch, he built one that would lift his 14 ft aluminum boat up, and over his GMC pickup and set it down upside down on top of the camper shell. It would unload the boat, landing it bottom side down. Of course, the motor was removed first and the boat's temporary wheels were attached. Grandpa often drew a crowd when using it.
More fishing time Steven ;) A big priority for me to make it the best it could be esp. given the fact that the wife and kids are in tow and might not be as keen as me for anything other than just cruising on the tinny if you know what I mean ;)
Thank you so much for this review because I have been looking at one for about 2 years and it has shown me a few things that the reviews mozzie has done doesn't show and I know now that we don't have to drive down to Victoria to fit it all 🤠 plus no one else does reviews on them because no one else has one
Brilliant mate , I have a Rhine side loader which makes it a bit easier but it is a major production to get it down and setup just under an hour once I load all the gear and the motor and electric. And a good hour and a half to load it back up repack my tray a d strap it all down. Can put some serious limitations on being able to get out
Spot on Leonard. Early on I made the effort to fully slow down with it all and check over things. It's all straight forward and a clear process which is easy as now. I try to forget about the timing and just run with the checklists and run over it all before setting off. Definitely a load that has to stay where I leave it ;)
@@joshkrutli He has had a GVM upgrade. Not sure if he has had an GCVM upgrade.. But the maximum dynamic roof load on a luxie is 75 kilos.. It doesnt matter how strong the racks are. The dynamic roof load is about stability.
I had a mate who does structural design and custom fab check over it and help me mount it and he was totally impressed too. He shared so much with me about it's design that has given me even more appreciation for it than what I realised. And an Aussie made product!! Love it
Johnny, head out to the Pentercost Crossing, turn off right on tracks before the crossing approach and head downstream for shore based barra on plastics!
Love this system I have just bought an Almac Boat loader for my 2015 MN Triton and and I am going to load a 3.7m tinny on top with nothing else plus a 2.8 tone Snowy river 17ft caravan with the back of the Triton loaded full I was told I will bend the Chassis is this true please before I put it on the roof, Thank you PS I have seen some bent like a banana and don't want this to happen.
thats awsome... the weight at the top for a potential rolllover is there.. but can be overcome with a competent driver and maybe knocking 40 kg off with the motor removal.. still very usable as is,,, with common sense
Thanks Johnny I've been looking forward to this review, this has been the best review of this product that I've seen, I'll even go as far to say it's better than there website. 👍 Keep the up the great work look forward to your next video. 👍
Cheers mate. I got some similar requests to yours to do a review on it and I'm keen to share it as it really has made my fishing life on the road so much easier and gives me more time on the water esp. when we are dropping into places for a couple mights and moving on... A lot of boats end up staying on the other tourers cars when they do 2 day stops, whereas I knew I would be keen to get a shot at most spots as you can imagine ;)
I had a boat loader in the mid 1980's that was such a hassle. The first time I loaded it with a friend the ropes pulled one side tighter than the other and pulled a hole in the side of the boat. Good times, good times...
Thank you for your video. How is the boat loader now? Does it last for a long time? I'm just concerned if anything goes wrong in the middle of the trip, like any mechanical faults?
Thats because we cant leave the country, all the west aussies who would usually fuck off to bali have decided to head north. I wouldnt waste my time going anywhere in this state if you like peace and space
I own a nearly identical car and I'm very interested in your setup. Can you put some info up on the inside of your canopy? Must be a huge structure inside to carry that load?
Hi Dane, If you send me an email message through mylurebox@gmail.com i'll flick you some pics. The framing has been a custom fab and fit by Pete at speccustoms.com.au. It needs to be solid but the way he's done it hasn't taken away any real space in the truck.
@@markhabib hi Mark. I have had a super heavy duty roll cage support fabricated inside the canopy. It’s 3mm 50x50mm box aluminium. Not sure if ARB s would be enough. Worth checking out though for sure.
It looks good, but if you tok off thpe motor you wouldn't need the winch. Also take out the extra weight of things, inside the boat. It would save expense money, and less strain on the roof of the vehicle, in my opinion.
thats cool Johnny. was looking for something like this n cudnt find anything until now. perfect for my ram 1500. in the Kimberleys already, that was a quick jump from the highlights of the QLD leg of the trip mate. how did the NT treat u all mate.
Gday Stephen, My videos are a few weeks behind while we are traveling to make sure I'm not stressed out keeping up and so I can do the family thing without the need to have to edit if time doesn't fit in ;) There's plenty of good stuff to come from the NT in the next few vids.
Hi John. I don’t know 100% but my guess would be that a custom rack and framing is the way to go for something like this. Definitely worth a call to Mozzi loaders to get their opinion
Pretty sure your troopy has a dynamic roof load maximum of 100kg meaning you can't have more than that on your roof while the car is moving. Your shy by about 200kg
You'll be way over on the Paj sport. It has a dynamic roof load capacity of 100kg. Meaning when the car is underway, the maximum you can have on the roof is 100kg. This set up is only really legal on a yank truck
