Re: Cheaters Skiff
Used to assist in building clinker hulls, our gunwales were a little heavier than yours of course.

Re: Advice on box trailer for the outback
Rear overhang is permitted if the trailer is constructed for the purpose of transporting a glider or water-sport devices (Yachts, rowing shells, surf skis, canoes and kayaks) (Victorian Government Gazette No. S S2 2017 - Exemption certain class O vehicles from rear overhang limits) So if your trail...

Re: Advice on box trailer for the outback
Thanks for the info Mick. Yeah I did consider to extending the drawbar 1 meter, which is what I'd prefer. I emailed one of the trailer store near me for a quote on extending an existing trailer.
