it is a 12ft WC lund. it is 205lbs. its a beast to get on the rack alone, i made a winch system to load and unload easily so i can do it alone. My wife is operating it in the above photo lol.
I guess one of those photos didn't appear. I only see one.
Regardless, I'm looking for a solution for my 14' Alumacraft F7. The F7 isn't that wide of a boat, probably less than your Lund but may weigh about the same. I'll have to figure out a weighing system to check it out. The winch sounds like a great idea.
ill try to figure out why its not showing up. I made a winch attached to a bar that goes into my front receiver hitch. lifts the boat on and off the rear rack. Allows me to do it solo. otherwise you need 2 people to get boat off and on the truck. When I transitioned from a truck camper to trailer I had to sell my Lund SSV 14ft console with 25hp and buy a smaller 12ft with 9.9 so i can put on rack and lug the motor around. I used to trailer the larger boat.
