[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 321273, member: 6334"] I like the idea of a catwalk on the trailer which is safer than a surprise surf ride down a slippery boat ramp. My main gripe is with the winch, which are usually designed for larger boats, and geared so low that it takes 3 or 4 turns to retrieve 12". I was thinking a single small pulley with a hook for the bow eye would be faster. Attach the terminal end to the winch tower, hook the pulley to the boat, and standing at the winch, pull the tag end putting the boat on the trailer. Over engineered, but much faster. :) [/QUOTE]
