Hey mate.... Unsure on what the rated capacity is but it should tow the tinny nicely.. I have towed a 14ft fibreglass boat easily |

I don't think a 14' tinny and trailer will exceed 500kg. Not unless you fill the tinny up with loads of camping gear etc, for a camping trip. You could always ask if you could use the weigh bridge at your local tip or truck depot to get and accurate weight of the boat & trailer. |

yeah cheers for the vote of confidence, i definetley know the zook will do the job but im just worried about the rod natzi's inging me for being over weighted, just hoping she can pull the tinny on the beach as i got some good spots to go spearing this summer |
