Nice catch by the Missus!! Well done Kel on the plug for a boat loader 😁 Great setup, I had the short shaft 370 Dart & 18HP Tohatsu two-stroke on the top of my camper.
@@Mickyt76 Hi Mick, the outboard is a long shaft as I went with the LS transom on the Quintrex. Only way to go in my opinion, it provides so much more freeboard on the transom in a bit of slop. The short shaft version is 43kg, I think this LS version is a couple of kgs heavier but still manageable as a 1 person lift.
That was great love the rear steps i have the 360 wanderer witch comes in at around 45 kg i have the rhino side loader works for me i can leave the van hooked up don't have a trailer yet but may look at one.
Hi, great video am getting a custom boat loader this year too, With the outboard you have a locking system to lock it onto your van and boat, can you please tell me where you got that from please
Hi Craig, its a Kovix outboard motor lock. They get a bit of surface rust on the stainless and they rattle a bit (I stopped this by installing some extra foam on the inside of it) but apart from that it has been very reliable and would be very difficult to get past. Cheers, ORT
Hi Henry, the boat loader is by Cameron @ Custom Boat Loaders. They are based in Kelmscott in Perth. Have a chat to him and let him know that you've seen mine and want to discuss specs with him, I'm sure he will be happy to help. Cheers
Hey mate, 200kg dynamic load rating. One of the only cars with the 200kg rating to make a decent tinny set up possible (apart from utes putting the load through the tray). Feels very sturdy even with the substantial load on the roof.
Hi Lachie, the main fuel tank is stored in a storage compartment which is on the exterior of the van. I also keep a spare jerry can on the rear tyre carrier bar of the caravan. Cheers.
Hi Dale, the Dart HDW comes from the factory with the flat nose specifically for rooftopping. I've found it to be super practical for not only that but just general use as well. Cheers.
Hi mate, its an outback accessories outboard bracket which the centre had to be cut out slightly (easy modification) to fit on the ARB rear wheel carrier. Works a treat and carries the 45kg motor no issue. They are hard to find but Cameron at Custom Boat Loaders should be able to point you in the right direction if you cant find one.
@@elitemotorcycledrivertraining The same outback accessories one mounted on a custom rear bar which was initially a rear wheel carrier. The outboard bracket comes with pre punched holes to suit different stud patterns so you should be able to make it work on any wheel carrier set up as long as it is strong enough.
Gday, love your video. Very informative. Just a question, realistically what was the total outlay? All included with motor, rack and trailer? Is your winch the same as cars or separate? Cheers
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Winch is all part of the custom boat loader. Custom Boat Loader is the brand name, made in WA. Depends on if you want to buy new or hunt around second hand. New you wont get change from 13k, probably a bit more these days. Shop around second hand you could do a lot cheaper. Cheers, ORT

thanks for the tip of the outboard lock, looks great
All you need to know and why you need this tinny setup on your travels. Awesome.
Thanks Fred, hopefully some of our learnings along the way can help some others out with their setups.

Not wrong, and she's got the pump and wind down pat now too! So proud
Hi, Cheers for the pointers hey is that tohatsu a short shaft.? Definitely a deal breaker without a boat 👌

Great Vid
Thanks mate, stay tuned for an update vid over the next month or two with a big addition to the tinny.
Great stuff good idea 👍
Thanks mate glad there was something there for you.

Can you please provide more details of the bloke who made the roof boat loader need to check specs and weights etc, thanks. #lovethesetup

@@ourrealitytravels thanks mate much appreciated
I think the roof top load stationary of the 200 series is 200kg but it is only 150kg underway.
Hey mate, 200kg dynamic load rating. One of the only cars with the 200kg rating to make a decent tinny set up possible (apart from utes putting the load through the tray). Feels very sturdy even with the substantial load on the roof.
Can I please ask where you keep the fuel tank when travelling
Hi Lachie, the main fuel tank is stored in a storage compartment which is on the exterior of the van. I also keep a spare jerry can on the rear tyre carrier bar of the caravan. Cheers.
Did you get the nose of the boat modified to be flat rather than curved to suit the rooftop setup?
Hi Dale, the Dart HDW comes from the factory with the flat nose specifically for rooftopping. I've found it to be super practical for not only that but just general use as well. Cheers.
What type of outboard mount holder are you using for caravan and back of 200?

the only part of actually loading the boat, was seeing it vertical and then on the hull, wtf
Haha fair call - check out some vids from the manufacturer Custom Boat Loaders if you're keen to see the whole process. Cheers, ORT
GVM upgrade on the 200?
Absolutely. Lovells 4t platinum. Keep an eye out for an upcoming rig rundown vid.
