Towing a boat through a river crossing.
Hey All,
Starting to prepare for our trip from Cairns QLD to Gove NT.
Most of the 3200kms is sealed road but the last few hundred kms is dirt with some river crossings. Mostly creeks and mostly fairly short runs through water.
My GQ Wagon is well prepared for water crossing, I'm running 35's with about 5 inches of lift and have crossed water over a metre deep before with no probs.
Never tried it with a 5m boat on the back but and a well laden truck. Boat + Trailer will be 800-1000kg by my calculations, no fuel and minimal gear inside.
Any tips???
Will putting a bit of water into the boat for the crossing help??
