Yeah, we used it and all, but I have no where to keep it but outside.....So unfortunatly it has doen what it done.... I like working on stuff, just dont have the motivation by myself and since my friend moved.... I have noone to use it or help me fix it up. If someone bought it, I would help them clean it up, get a new chain on there.... and put some wheels on there, things I never got around to. I did however make the spool spin freely so pulling the rope out is a breeze....

Yeah it is a beast... It is very heavy..... we designed it to go into the receiver of the truck and let the tailgate down on a full size truck, so you can sit on the tailgate and relax. It does pull really well, the spool releases, and we put royal Purple synthetic in for oil, runs way better believe it or not. I personally could never deep water start with it.....but everyone else could much to my frustration...... But other than that lets see some offers come in... I know someone wants this.

I know it wasnt the winches fault..... I sucked at the time... and still do fr the most part....BUt going from boat and ski to winch was a totally different animal. I just didnt have the time or patience to learn the mechanics of it. It was at the point in my waksskating career when all I could do was surface 360's and ollies, desperatly trying to learn shuvs and failllling for 3 months striaght, getting really discouraged and what not. Funny though, I landed my first shuv.... a while ago now, and the next day was I not only consistent but but started throwing front shuvs....now Im at the same point with 3shuvs.......I must say.....my groin hurts like......TAKING OFFERS FOR WINCH

OK so lets try 650 and a decent board. Heck the engine and torq a vert cost that alone......
TAV2-$200
briggs and stratton intek 8 hp -$399
And it had very minor use....
