Nice work
Great idea
so much better than all that boat hassle and$$$$$$$
almost same effect
now that's saving the enviorment

might want everyone to show ins. card beforehand Shocked

Put that puppy on the jetty
and we'll be riding with the surfers(tow in)

That's an excellent idea blowhard! With 1000' of line, you could get towed into some decent stuff.

This last minute design change (or something similar if there are clearance issues) will reduce the torque load on the tube running horizontally underneath the spool.

Can't wait to see it fully assembled.

Way ahead of ya blowhard Wink

, already been scoping out some of the good swell spots on the ocean with good winch access. Hopefully we can bring it down your way for some pulls this fall/winter Cool

I think there would be a clearence issue with the motor and TAV if we had those suppots welded in there. We could have made the frame wider to accept those supports but we were trying to make it compact enough so it could fit in the back of a hatchback if needed.

I can think of more than one spot with no wind and a great peeler
with access

Chooch · Wed Oct 29, 08 9:08 am
