- 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.

BLOODY Genius nothing more to do mate but Strutt well done
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
Hey Ron thanks for the tip we are going to put a skid there :)
Wow I'm gobsmacked I hope all goes well with the boat and you catch a few cheers to you all and look forward to more traveling and adventures
Great stuff guys. It's given me a few ideas 💡 for my own set up. Like you with a boat It's impossible to be under your gvm and or rear axle weight. Keep the mods coming 🎉😊
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
😅😅😅
Boats are pretty light, but jockey wheels as they older are notorious for not traveling straight. I like your Chinese safety boots in the workshop!
Thanks will I do like my safety boots 😂
Such a great idea!! Maybe as an added bit of security when winching the boat up, add a slack safety line or chain just in case the which line snaps and ya boat doesn’t take off back into the drink? Cool guys great set up!
Yeah we are Defo looking into it (: thanks for watching 🙌
Awesome Ep Guys, Maybe some 50 to 60mm high ally wings on your ramps encase its not quite level when loading and unloading.
Yes would be a great idea !! Thanks for watching 🤠🤘
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.
😅😅😅
Hahahaha this comment had us laughing 😂 thanks for the support mate.
Great job Nick.
Just one thing I would have put have put the boat on the grass and just played around with the trailer, but you both did a fantastic job 😎👍🦋🌸🍹🍹Nauti Suzi I like it 🙈👍👍
Hahah thanks Paul !! Thanks for watching🤠
Saw the new rig at Wild Horse Mtn today, on my way home, very impressive.
Thanks it does stand out 🤠
Now thats a BOAT! 🛳❤️🇦🇺🦘
Hahah we will have to catch fish now 😂🤠
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 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Jamie!! Yes we have we are getting a plastic skid to put on the back to stop the wear. 🤠🤙🙌👍
Lot of weight on that corner, the box might need strengthening.
A roller is wiser and will reduce the friction
She’s a biggin tiny 😂 looking forward to seeing some big adventures 🎣🚤💕💕
Hey Steph! She is big haha and we are to can’t wait for some epic tiny missions🤠
I was thinkin! A custom tarp over the boat would be good to keep the dust out or take the bungs out to keep the rain water out…..
Hey will we have since got a boat and motor cover and the bungs are out 😂 thanks for watching
You guys are bloody awesome
Thanks Richard 🤠🤘
Thinking outside the travelling box 😊 Smart work Elenya & Nick it will change the way long term travellers think into the future . Just fantastic !!🚁🚔🛳️
Thanks so much for this comment 👍🤠🙌
Great job love you guys you’re lovely wife is always smiling well done big boy 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Peter she is one in a million !! Thanks for watching 🤠
Absolutely killer build series guys, well done. After seeing this in the flesh I absolutely love it. Have wicked times in it guys.
Thank you so much we out some hard work into this and thanks for following along the journey 🤠🤘
Carnt wait till you are on the road again ❤ you guys
Soon🙌
tricky but cool👍 need to be spot on with overhead hazards though 😊
Not wrong !! 🤠 thanks for watching
I thought removing the draw bar was going to be unnecessary at first but seeing how nicely it sits with it off I understand why you would go through the extra steps. Well done.
Hey thanks for watching we wanted it all to sit as low as possible 🤠👍
Love the concept have a good time I’ll be watching, quick word though Don’t drive in any shopping centres with shade sails,
Cheers from down south
Thanks that bloody good advice hahaha😂🙌
👍🍺 bloody good set-up enjoy can't wait to see you all in Tasmania 🤟
We will put the boat in and sail it over hahah😂🙌 thanks for watching guys
Brilliant set up well done can't wait to see you both catch some fish and discover more of Australia, best of luck and safe travels.
Thanks 👍 fingers crossed we can catch some fish haha😂
Looking great guys, let the adventures begin.
Awesome weekend guys 🤙
Thanks Paul!!! Thanks for all your support 🤠🤙👍
Congrats guys!!
This has been an incredible series to watch. I am beyond envious. Such an epic build. Cannot wait to see your first camping video with the new kit.
Thanks brad it’s been hectic but we have enjoyed it 🤙🤠
WOW What a neat set up , cant wait to see it all in action. Thats a nice boat mate 👍👍
Thanks 👍 we can’t wait to test it !!
Nice. I think I passed you today on the M1, between Eumundi and Nambour. You lot get around if it was you. Thanks for the videos 👊
Thanks Brandon’s must be a different truck I think 👍🤠
Oh Nick have seen Nowhere Bound Touring? He did a video on hitches and has a truck just like yours and loves it also.
Thanks for watching rob! I have been watching a few of there vids but havnt seen the hitch one yet I’ll have to check it out 🤠
Great vid. The set up looks amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing your next adventures
Thanks so much!! We will give her a good run😂🤠
Good job guys can’t wait to see you on the road
Thanks David 🤠🤙
Very nice idea 💡
Can’t wait for the boat review as well
Coming soon!(:
Would definitely add a roller below the winch rope to minimise rubbing! Cheap and easy solution
That's a great idea! We will look into it
Human nature predicts it’s still gonna fall off one day. Done it’s self a mischief kiethy. 😂
Haha one day 🤦♀️
Mate that’s a sic set up love it
Thankyou so much 🤙🤠
Now that's epic. You guys are going to turn heads everywhere you go. Just a word of caution, you may want a roller on the top of the box where the winch cable rubs on the edge.
Thanks very much !! We have since but some skids on the back of the canopy 🙌👍
well done guys , now for the next journey eh
Yep now to test it all out 🤠🤙
Great set up, I hope you'll use it often .... 😊
That's the plan! Thanks for watching 🤙🤠
Nice fab work brudda smooth welds😃🤙🏼 epic set up guys👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍 it took a bit of working out :)
Loved this episode, your set up is so boss!!!! Your tinny’s graphics are super cool and I love the high sides for your boys. It was great to see how you get it on Suzy. Enjoy! 💛
Yes the high sides were a must with the boys 😂 I’m sure things will hang off the side including them 😂 thanks for watching guys (:
@@elnick.adventures as I always say, THE JOYS OF BOYS! So much fun & adventure coming your way with this new set up. I hope Isuzu are sponsoring you guys because your videos I’m sure are making many want what you’ve got. Enjoy! 💙💙💙
Great job , hope you catch some serious fish👍
Hahaha we suck at fishing- all the gear and no idea haha🤠
Well done guys can't wait to see it in action all the best Ron
Thanks Ron we start travelling next week 🤠🤙
Awesome setup! Well done guys. I'll be watching your adventures in this rig.
Thanks Brett 🤙
That’s bloody awesome, well done guys 👍👍🤠
Thankyou 🤠
Fantastic series guys well done everything looks great now sit down and let us know all the costs to set everything up. congrats.
We will let you know it is a very common question 🤠
Awesome legends👍😀
Thanks 😁
Fantastic 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Unreal guys! Cant wait too see all the adventures❤
We can’t wait either thanks for watching 🤠🤙
Your boys are getting the best upbringing ❤
Thanks guys !!! Wishing you all the best with your little one 👍
Well done fella brilliant idea 😊 but you should have a roller on top of the box wear the winch cable runs but apart from that smicko cheers legends ☺️
Hey Stephen !! Thanks for that and we are putting a skid on the back for the winch rope 🤙🤠
fantástico quedo todo un transformer digno de película bravo!!
Thanks so much 🤠🤙
All I’d do is put a rubber roller on canopy to prevent the winch rope from rubbing on metal while pulling up the boat
Hey thanks for watching we have since put a boat roller on to address this !!
You probly could have put one of those cranes that mount to the back of your cab, a Hyab I think, and just lifted it up from the side.
Great idea Peter (: 🙌
First comment as ❤u guys so so much 🍺👍❤️⚙️🕺💃🥰🇦🇺🥃
Thanks so much !!!!!! We really do appreciate your support !!! 🤠🤘🔥
sketchy but if it works outstanding, interested review after corrugated roads
Hey thanks for watching Will definatly let you know how it goes !🤠🤘
epic rig!
Thanks🤠
What a great set up. Is it the short, medium or long wheelbase.
I’m not sure hahah it’s the normal one I’m pretty sure :)🤙
Awesome legends , let the adventure begin 😊Beautiful Rig 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Cheers mate 🍻Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks so much!! For all your support the adventure starts next week 🤙
oh man you better catch some good fish!!!
Hahah we probably won’t !thanks for watching🤙🤠
Very Clever 👏✨👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done. Looks great. Have you looked at a safety chain just in case the winch cable breaks.
The trailer bolts to the head board but we are going to have a safety rope thanks for watching 🤘🤠
Don't worry about things, it's good job
Thanks for watching 🙌
So stoked for you guys. Suzie has come up a treat. Are you going to change the pic on your title screen from Maxi to Suzie? Looking forward to your first trip back.
Thanks so much !!! I think we might have to now 🤠
Amazing but did I miss the part where you guys won the lotto!? Very awesome but looks to be an expensive set up now!
I wish we won the lotto haha!!! Thanks for watching 🤠
Love your ingenuity, but seems like alot of work if you only want to go for a quick fish lol
Yeah it takes about half hour 🤠
love your truck build. do you have concerns for the winch rope rubbing wearing on the edge / top of the gear box ? was thinking a small roller right at that spot it touches. also maybe need a rubber bumper on the cross bar right before the bow touches the Y bumper on the trailer.
Hey we have actually done what you have mentioned since uploading this ep!🤠🤙
Guys that's alot of hard work , sorry. But everytime you launch it ? Point is higher on ya rig.
Hey Greg it takes about half hour to get on and off:) thanks for watching 🤠
Might need some tinkering as you go along but, one hell of a way to do it, nice job 👍. Do you just raise the jockey wheels or have to take them off, for it to sit proper on wagon? Looking forward to seeing your travels with the big girl
Hey Jo just lower the jockey wheels and it sits on the locator but we take the jockey wheel off for travelling 🤠🤙
What a fab set up and of course it all works you did it.😅
One thing tho will you be putting a cover on the boat when travelling so as it dont fill up with water when raining?
The outboard motor is secure enough ?
Yes we have put a cover on the boat and a motor cover too (:
Awesome idea with this one guys I have the same size boat but in a quintrex I’m looking at mounting mine to the top of my jayco swan camper trailer with a setup kind of like this
Wondering where you go your ramps and how long they are?
Hey thanks guys !! It works well🤠 we had them made from a fab shop👍
that setup is all kinds of sexy well done troops what a weapons combination
Thanks so much !! Now to test her out 🤙👍
Bloody awesome job👌🏻was so interested how you set it up👊🏻
Only my 2c I’d get some PVC or similar to put over the edge of the box to protect your winch strap and edging
Hey Thankyou 🤠 we are in the process of doing just that 🤙
@@elnick.adventures can’t wait to see the whole setup in full use and catching a shitload of fish👌🏻
Was wondering will you all be doing a video on some ways people can learn how to budget, earn, and save while doing laps or living full time on the road like you do?
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.
Some might say it's luck, but you know it takes planning and action.
Congratulations again.
Thanks for this comment I think we will as we have been asked this question a lot ! In the near future hopefully 👍
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?
Hey Peter looking at putting some side on and the overall height is 3.6m 🤠
Awesome job guys.
Been following for a long time now. Awesome truck guys. October delivery for us couldn’t come any quicker haha.
May I ask is your roof top the mt145 plus? As our family our family is the same size as yours haha
Cheers guys
Awesome! Thank you! Hope it all goes smoothly for you guys. The roof top is a MFT - 187 thanks for watching 🤠🤘
Congrats on 17000 subscribers.
Thanks Chris !!! We are over the moon 🙌🤠
Just curious about drivers licence, which class do you need for your rig? Looks great and hope you have some fabulous adventures.
Hey thanks for watching you need a light ridged liscence for the truck 👍🤠
Thanks@@elnick.adventures
Love the truck and what a dream truck it is. We are currently on our way to the cape and so many people are getting these. I love it. I would love for this to be my next vehicle. Keep up the amazing videos and hope to see you one day.
Also did you get the auto or the manual version.
For the truck and cabinets.. What sort of dollars are you looking at approx if I can be as bold to ask.
Hey good luck up in the cape !! Thanks for watching the truck fully finished with the boat included 200k 👍🤠
@@elnick.adventures Wow thats great value. Only thing that bothers me about the cape is the midges. Been hearing reports they are bad. Stay safe and keep on traveling.
So great! Big fella has skills. If you roll thru coffs or port. Please get in contact. I’d love to meet and get this setup on my pads.(no charge)
Thanks! Will do! We are headed south at the moment but thanks for watching 🤙🤠
Any thoughts on bigger free flow exhaust & bigger air intake ducting with ram head
Not at the moment! There is enough sunk into this at the moment 🤠👍
Nice truck but the boat lift is going to be a pain in the ass after spending all that money on your rig a Hiab crane would be your best option. I noticed that you didn’t show the boat coming of the truck ? Try doing that lift on uneven ground ,also why have a standard ball hitch on an off road trailer. Sorry guys for being so critical good luck on your trip
The extra cost in a hiabe crane plus what they would have to do to the crane was in realistic and didn’t have the space for it. The boat comes off exactly how it comes on the truck so didn’t think we had to and we have do 45 hitch for caravan we just don’t need one for the boat 🤠🙌 thanks for watching
Great canopy
Can you please tell me who made the canopy on the back please
Cheers
Hey thanks for watching Muras industries in port Macquarie made the canopy 👍 did a really good job
Does the rooftop open up with the boat on it looks very tight 🤔
This is the only compramise we had to make other wise the boat sits to far back on the truck 🤦♀️
Can I ask what you guys do for a living at your age to be able to afford all of this?- Serious question......
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.
Love it, enjoy.😊
Having the winch rope running across the edge , is going to cause you a problem in the future
Hey thanks for watching 🤠we are in the process of putting a skid there
@@elnick.adventures Some sort of extra safety mechanism, wouldnt go astray either, considering you are standing behind guiding it. Even just an absail rope is way better than nothing
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?!!!!
I agree must have some big debt! TH-cam doesn't pay that well unless you have 100k plus sub
Hey fair question!! The property is not ours. And we have worked bloody hard for what we own. There’s no secret just hard work🤙 elenya and I have always wanted to live this life style so we made it happen.
Hey Brendan your right youtube doesn’t pay for a setup like this. We did and we worked bloody hard for it.🤠
@@elnick.adventures not doubting you haven't worked hard for it big out lay thats all people start wondering how you pay it thats all! Btw love the content ✌️
@@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
it would be easier to go to the fish and chip shop
And cheaper 😂🤠
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
Hey Ronald thanks for watching!! And all great points. It’s a work in progress I’m sure it will change a few times before we nail it 🤠👍
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
Hey thanks for watching 👍we tow a caravan so can’t tow it in a trailer 🤠
