henrification, pm boodog, we will have a varity of options for this thing so the cost is going to vary

batteries are the biggest fluctuation in price
Rolling Eyes

but i can say that we will be competitive with all the other winches

and you wont need gas

and its really quiet

henrification, We should be able to get them in the 3600-4000 range depending on what the specific order is. Rope, Battery setup, computer options, regen-break, and or manual break, logo options, are all up to you.

Tell us what you want!

Wow, slick lookin machine! Why put the chain on the outside though? Seems like it'd get filled with sand and stuff pretty quick. Especially if you want to use it on the beach.

Also, how does it charge, do you have to get a charger or is there some type of way to plug it in to a wall?

GnarShredd, the only moving parts are outside (besides the spool) so you can keep an eye on them

we are looking for a few chain guards, but we might have to make our own


all you need is a car battery charger

The winch will come with a charger that plugs into the wall, standard 110 volt. one of the extras we will offer is a car charger for getting a little extra juice in between spots. You could even charge it with a solar panel, but it would probably take forever.

supermanotorious, we could make cheap 800 dollar 6.5 dollar Chinese knock off winches, but so can anyone else.

the applications of electric winches will become obvious to the right people.

30,000 for a 2.0
or
4000 for a boodog winch

and we could find all sorts of was to cut our cost
but we really arnt interested in selling crap

POPTART, I wouldn't say you can compare this in any way to a 2.0 other than they both have electric motors....

well i know that they aren't comparable

but put yourself in the position of making a set up for yourself

winch parks are going to be much more feasible than cable parks


and yes the speed is adjustable

Battery setup pending, but the winch alone will be cheaper than a plastic gas one Laughing


So what's the cost on just the winch?

3600 full setup



Again I know there are tons of you that can go get a harbor freight motor and put your own winch together. We just dont have any interest in doing that. Look at Erich, he dosent care to offer anything but the best. We want to follow his lead. Yes you can find cheaper options. But they arnt the boo dog winch. And i wont have to sell anyone on it after you get a pull Cool
So the initial estimates for price are just to cover cost and guarantee that we aren't going to build 5 of these and quit.
We are here to make a difference in the future options.
We didn't cut cost anywhere. We did the home work.
We pulled with this thing for a full year (wake and snow) to make sure that we had it all down. I know finding our niche is going to be the hardest part of this. But in poptarts head the application of this is beyond most of our imaginations. winch parks like skate parks Shocked Cwc type setups. Places that the 2.0 wont work. I know plenty Cool
But right now there just aren't enough wakeskaters to make a real go with it. (there are barely enough of us to keep board companies going)If we are going to be a success I have to teach someone new to ride every time i go out.
Someone has to step up and take the risk, push the idea, and be there in the long run. And by helping support us you can be assured that every bit of this is going to be for wakeskaters. (and maybe strappers ...the cool ones) I'm not here to try and make a career of this , both rob and I have Jobs. And all of this effort/time/and passion comes directly from our love of riding these planks across h20.
This is getting repetitive and long winded, but I hope I get someones attention. We really don't care to be the cool guys, we can barely ride, but if its not obvious where our hearts lie with what we are doing then maybe I'm not doing a good job of directing this little adventure.

How many companies have come and gone already?
How many gave back to YOU?
I'm not here to point out all the wrongs and rights. I just want to take the best approach to this we can. But none of this works without the support of a family of believers Embarassed

Compare the difference in cost between boats. It is not 10000$ difference we talking about here... To Winch electric is easier than winch with gas! therefore worth pay little extra. Still I think most people just want something that pulls... But there are a few like me that want something more consistent
