[QUOTE="HMS Chilcotin, post: 299547, member: 10754"] Thanks Scott and RickyBobbyBend, I've been hosting it up there (stock, nothing added so its about 150lbs) the hard way for a bit now...doable but I am not getting any younger. Last fall I had to load it on an incline...that just about did me and the boat in. Thus my concerns for weight, I am about at my limit for manual loading right now. RBB...you are bang on with the winch idea. I own a small battery powered winch (2000lb capacity) which I am going to use going forward, much as you illustrated. The next time I rig it all up, I'll snap some photos. I used to use it for my older 10' fibreglass/wood boat that must've been 200+ lbs. The winch will likely be a must be a "must use" if I add 30-50 lbs of material to my 1436. Ben [/QUOTE]
