Auto Boat Loader

splake0 · #1 09-24-2017, 05:42 PM

I'm thinking of buying an auto boat loader. Not sure if i should go new or used? They are made in BC and seem to be available through numerous dealers.
Can't find reviews on them at all.
How do you tell a newer or older model?

Very good loader but expensive, numerous guys we fish with have them and they are rock solid.

I personally had a 4 boys mfr out of Kelowna and it was great. My only regret was when I bought it I was not informed nor asked about the 2 widths. Make sure you get the wider width so if you change boats in the future you do not have to replace the top rail system. System works great and very quick, loved mine.

Cheers, Elk.

Anybody else have any input? I'm very close to pulling the trigger.

What input are you looking for?
I have one... haven't used it much. Pretty much your only option if you want to have a boat and pull a holiday trailer..... and not wreck your back.

Was looking for meaningful feedback. Good or bad

My father has one, he fishes 250+ days a year and he won't stop raving about it. He loves how easy it is, his only complaint is he didn't buy one 20 years ago, he's 74. He purchased it 2 years ago and uses it on his Rubicon. He racks his 9' aluminium pram and his 14' Lund. He tosses the motor on a mount on his bumper he had fab'd up.

I have one that I haven't used for years. I went to a trailer for my tinner.
This is one that my BIL made. He made a few to sell as he was going to produce them commercially. His life went in a different direction and he didn't get into production beyond a half dozen units.

This works slick as snot on a door knob and if I hadn't gone to a trailer , I'd still be using it. I don't have a negative thing to say about them.

One day I'll check this one over and put it up for sale. I'll bet if I put power to it, it would work fine.
