I posted about this idea a couple years ago, didn't get much response, and have still never gotten around to undertaking this project.
It's back in my mind again, and input from fellow wakeworlders is always welcome.
We have a boat garage at our river place that is 30 feet to the water. I was thinking of mounting a winch in the garage to launch the boat so that I could drive there in a non-tow vehicle and still launch the boat.
I would like to mount the winch so that it could be removed if needed.
Also, I think the trailer would need a special dolly wheel on the front to roll straight down the ramp.
Here's an example of the type of front wheel I was thinking of on a dolly trailer, and a few pictures of my ramp and garage.
Any input would be welcome!
