Which one did you buy? black box will sell you 500 ft for like 250 bucks I think. I went to a boat shop and they were going to sell me 500 ft for 230, and if I wanted a 1000 they would have to link two 500 ft spool's of rope together, so it is possible. black box might sell you the rope anyway, give them a call.

i've talked to the guys about the hypoxic....

it has a clutch that lets you dis-engage the gears so it will spool out.

and it can pull a rider from 1 to 28 mph

and they can order you 500 feet of line (with no links) for $200

or 1000 feet of line (again with no links) for $400....

this all came staight from the guy at Hypoxic via email.

1000 feet of rope is going to be a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pain if its not on the winch. just think about it. thats like 3 football fields. it will probably weigh more then your car.

if I were you I probably would've been asking these questions BEFORE I bought it.... maybe that's just me though Rolling Eyes

the winch has a throtle... but i don't know how you would be able to tell exact speed. however they did say that after using it a few times the operator usually gets accustomed to the throtle and can feather it pretty well...
