Boat Winch

[bpoli2]

Looking to purchase a winch to aid my father in loading his 16ft Alum. Dominator. Any suggestions would be helpful as to good or bad brands/size on a limited budget.
Thanks

I have a barely used (maybe 3 times total) PowerWinch, it's electric, and you can connect it to truck batteries with a long cable (included) or you can mount a battery on front of trailer and avoid wiring.
Make me an offer (reasonable).

What do you want for the winch?

bpoli, Give your father the best gift he could ever receive. Teach him to drive that boat onto the trailer right to the bowstop. If it is a roller trailer it is the easiest thing in the world to do. If it is a bunk trailer it is also super easy to do. With the exception of a very few super shallow ramps there is no reason to EVER winch a boat onto the trailer. (at least not one with a working engine) If for some reason it cannot be driven onto the trailer take it back to the dealer and have them replace it immediatly. I have been in the marine industry for 10 years and I will not winch a boat onto the trailer. I have literally launched and loaded 100s if not 1000s of boats, and have never found the need to winch one on. Winching on is a huge time suck that both you and everyone waiting for you can do without.
