Hey guys and welcome back to the channel!!
This week is the final build episode on the truck! we finally put our new aqua master 4.2m tiller steer boat on top of our Isuzu NPS truck and it fits !!! hahaha we were a bit worried about how we were going to get such a big boat on the back of the truck but it all worked out in the end.
Thanks so much for watching guys and we really do appreciate the support!! see you out there.

Good job but I think you should add a roller where the winch rope slides over the edge of your storage box this will do 2 things protect both your box and rope

Guys, envy you big time. I believe you will need to be able to extend your centre rail on boat trailer approx 2 to 3 metres when launching your boat on a muddy remote creek bank . Good luck to all of you 😅😅😅

Nick. Very concerned about your loader system. Big job for one man and could be dangerous. Then I think of Elena. We have all seen her swing an axe, use a chain saw, cast a bait net, change a tyre, and then cook you a meal !! Nick after you have shown her twice on how to load that boat, sit down have a beer and check the tie down straps. What a woman. 😅😅😅

Well done guys once again. Have you thought about putting a little roller on the back of the box so the winch rope doesn’t drag itself over the edge of the box when loading and unloading the boat ? Might be a wear point 🤷🏼‍♂️

Pity the ramps didn't have a raised edge on them to assist with keeping the wheels on them as you may find a situation where both truck and trailer are not level and the trailer will not stay on the ramps for loading or unloading. Final fit does make the truck rather high - what is the overall height now?

We see these super rigs and vans, knowing they cost a fair bit of money . But sometimes don't think we could afford a set up like yours.

Hey Matt it’s a fair question elenyas a nurse and I am a carpenter. We have extremely high work ethic and are good savers. There’s not much more to it really. We just made it happen.

Honestly, not trolling, but you have a massive property, plus all this setup, which all up must be half a million plus.... Can you tell us how you afforded this, and all the setup please?!!!!

@@elnick.adventures Thanks guys, I REALLY appreciate your reply and honesty. So happy you are able to do all this at your age. I'm in early 50's and about to get an NPS setup etc like your, and do multi month trips. Moving from Sydney to The Daintree soon, so we can live off grid, go out fishing/exploring the Outer Reef etc. Love your enthusiasm and channel, keep it up guys!

Hi guys, I admire your drive and enthusiasm . But, that boat loading system is probably one of the most potentially dangerous setups I have ever seen. Previous commenters have mentioned some of the issues like rope running unguided over the box, lack of safety rope/chain between truck & boat, unguided jockey wheels. And I am sure these are all things you can overcome. But for me the most dangerous element is that it will be almost impossible to load without someone guiding it on with someone else operating the winch. A recipe for disaster. As a former operator of tow trucks i would never put myself ar an employee in that amount of danger. I hope you take everyone's feedback on board and modify the system. Your safety, your family's safety and the public's is the most important thing.

Hey Alan thanks for taking the time to comment! we have changed the loader a bit from this vid we are putting a guid roller for the winch rope on and also sides on the loading ramps and the winch has an extension lead so I (Nick) can now operate solo with the guides on the loading ramps. I’m not sure if you seen in the video but the boat trailer is actually bolted to the headboard of the truck and fastened down with 6 rated tie down straps (we have been on 4WD tracks and the boat doesn’t move) I don’t feel un safe loading and un loading the boat especially now adding the things we missed that viewers have picked up. Thanks for your concern these comments always help to better the set up cheers for watching 🤠👍

Hi guys, thanks for your reply. Please know that I am not trying to be a smart arse, but giving you the benefits of my mistakes 😁. Sounds like you have made it a lot better. The safety strap I was talking about is something like a snatch strap between the truck and the trailer while you are loading/unloading. This is a precaution if the winch cable breaks or some other catastrophic failure...it will stop the trailer becoming a missile. Again, please take my feedback as I intend....I love what you guys are doing and just want you to be safe(er). All the best Alan

Guys, I am very envious and am very concerned 1. Have you thought about launching in remote areas and not getting bogged- maybe extendible centre bar in trailer. 2.Jockey wheels are too light for purpose- pneumatic wheel barrow wheels 3.How do you keep wheels on ramps going both up and down. (Did you look at small hiab?) Very quick, easy and safer while the kiddies are helping Good luck

May as well just save your money and get a ute and tow the boat on its trailer that you already got .... wasting half the space with too much weight up high. Too much fuckin around to get that trailer up there and down and the inherited danger that comes with that too is just now worth it mate
