Has anyone got a powrlaunch......
........system on their trailer ? I'm thinking about getting one and at £1500 it's cheaper than running a tractor or jeep with insurances etc etc.

Just in case you don;t know what I'm on about see www.powrlaunch.co.uk

Eeee lad, is this so you can launch the boat by remote control whilst sitting in the comfort of your mansion.

You could also take it for a walk down to the shops.

Me Me


You may be suprised to hear that I love mine. I have had it a year now and it cost me £1200 with free fitting as it was one of the first.

Due to a slight back problem man handling my trailor was always a problem, that I no longer have. I have used it to launch the boat but to be honest I use the car most times as it is quicker.

I would definatly recomend one, in fact mention my name.

The powrlaunch guy will be at the LBS if you want to see one working.

I will sell you mine - £20000 plus a free Rib.

MEME we got one also and have had no problems.

I got it not for launching but to get around 2 lamp posts on to our drive.
