 What size winch to get? Got a 1750 gator trax and I'm building a plate to mount a winch inside the front deck. What siZe winch does everybody usually use. May be pulling the boat up some steep inclines

Re: What size winch to get? I got the same terra 3500 with synthetic . Works like a champ. Just gator glided my hull and I think I just knocked off 1000# off of what that winch actually has to pull

Re: What size winch to get? I have a 4500 on my 18x60 and it works fine on wet grass or anything like that but it really boggs it down on solid dry ground
