Tow boat to Morton Island

Hi Colin, I havent towed on moreton before but judging by the big glass boats on Fraser island it shouldnt be too hard.
Crossing the island on the middle track would be hard but u prolly have no reason to take it onto the surf side anyway.
The western beach and bypass tracks shouldnt give u any trouble just gotta watch the soft stuff coming up the beach to Bulwer, keep on the throttle and it shouldnt be to bad.
Not sure if u have been to moreton but lowtide is best especially heading north from tangalooma, the dune drops right to the water, really tight.
Regardless, have fun fishing, there plenty of wrecks on the western side north of tangy.
Good luck, Wayne

As far as I am aware there is NO FUEL available on Morton these days . It was advertised early in the year in Queensland when the Bulwer shop got their tanks removed

Take plenty in case.

Colin,

I have towed my 4.9mtr fibreglass runabout on Moreton a few times, 90hp. It can be very hard work if the tides are not perfect.
No ramps on the island, so launching off the beach is the go.
It can be quite difficult as the western beach is very flat, so you will probably need to chase around to find an area with some slope.

Make sure you let all tyres down as much as you are comfortable with, the Mi Cat has compressors on board so airing up is very easy.

I must confess that I have given up in taking it as it is all just too hard, but as a one of if is worth the effort as the island and surrounding waters are beautiful.

No ramps and now no fuel and the Micat charges by the metre for trailers /boats so it becomes a rather expensive exercise if only staying a cpl /few days ,,,,last time we went saw a young bloke "chase " the Micat from the loading point all the way across the bay in a 16 foot dinghy with a 40 honda , "surfed"the wake all the way ,, turned out his mates were all on board the Micat with all the camping gear in the 4x4 and c/trailer ,,, they did the same for the return 10 days later ,,,,, recon they were very lucky to pick real calm days , can just imagine the outcome if a 1 to 2mtr swell picked up ........
