im going to order a winch for my boat in the next day or so and i was looking at getting a warn vantage 3000 s was worndering for yall that have winches what size you have and how you like it and if a 3000 is big enough. boat is 1848 3/16 bottem 1/8 sides

That should be plenty big enough. I would recommend synthetic rope. One less thing to rust or cut your waders...

yeaa thats what im going with ive just seen some people with 2000lbs winches all the way up to 4500lbs an wasnt sure wat would be the best to go with

you think it will winch it across dry ground with gator glide on the bottom of it

sweet i was hoping so ive got some buddies that run air boats an a couple of spots they get into they run across land for 20 or 30 yrds an they always give me shit cause i cant but this year ima flip em off y i winch across it at like 10ft a min lol

lol yea cause id be a mad mofo if i was stuck in the middle or wrong side

Get the PVC set right and hit it with enough speed and you may not need the winch

Superwinch terra 35 with synthetic rope is the best valued winch on the market imo.... amazon.com has great deals on these winches.

Also get 6" pvc and use a table saw to halve them......line your path about 4' apart......make sure you hit them straight on so you dont fall off the pvc.

or get some plywood an a shit load of ky lmao
amazons price was around 270 i get warns whole sale the vantage 3000 synethic is 280 the only winches ive ever used were warn an mile marker how do superwinches compare

For boat I'm sure they are fine but I like warn know h can count on them that's y I went with one on my rig

which one did u put on ur boat

I had a cheap ass harbour freight on my old boat for a couple of years and it never failed......I went with the sw 3500 for the faster gear ratio for my new boat and have yet to use it..... I only need it for the tall levees. The shorter ones I jump.

just gass on it i bet you can make it over the tall ones lol

3000 S

have you got to use it yet

No I haven't but I can't see it not being enough! Was gonna get a 4500 but to good of a deal to pass up so I got the 3000

yea i would think it would be enough i mean the boat fully loaded shouldnt weigh more than 1500ish

Yeah note like ur stuck n a hole

How are yall mounting them on the boat. I see some have had receivers and put them on in that. Can it be put up in a way that it can be attached only when you need it? And keep it in the dry box the rest of the time?

Mine's mounted threw the bow under the deck
Willet builds a mount that slides in spud pole hole.

I also have the terra 3500 w/ synthetic, haven't used it to pull my boat. But i'm sure it would pull in on dry ground.

I've got the terra 35- not sure when I'll use it, or finish installing it, but hey it's cool right?

willet is building myn that is removable that just slides in an out of the spud pole hole an swivels 360 degrees

I really like that idea bc u can winch in any direction but I wanted mine hard mounted and not in the way, I don't like clutter

Just Fu-cking buy a GTR and have Calen put a stage 2 on it problem solved

Ha!! I'm waiting on him to get me a price on a stage 3 for me!!

i dont like clutter eaither thats why the winch an all the winching shit is going to have its own storage box lol

Good thinking! I wanna order a 50' extension too

Just go buy 50' of cable or rope. You'll save half your money! While you're at Home Depot, pick up a respectable fire extinguisher too; you couldn't put out a cigarette with that damn thing!

No cable and yeah with halon u can!

Pretty sure that's not Halon, but good try...

Also, Halon is effective for sealed compartments, so no, it wouldn't work too well just sprayed on your motor or fuel tank. It's a gas, and it needs to flood an area to lower the oxygen content of that space.

Gator glide cant overcome gravity and it would cause you to slide back down defeating the purpose of getting almost to the top.... less time winching.

I disagree.
