I like the idea, but It opens up to some safety issues. The beach is quiet but people do walk past the property and a boat hanging in the air above their heads might set of alarms.

Is this how you...

Thanks! - I'm sure the dolly would make the job easier, but it would also add 100 lbs or more to the setup while going down the ramp and while moving around on the beach, will the extra weight be...

Hey Willk,
Thank you for the input! - Why not move a complete boat down a temporary ramp instead?

I didn't mean to clutter the space with dual posts, I just thought that RIBs had to be discussed here :)

Small and lightweight RIB? - 3.5-4meter

I'm looking for the possibilities in the 'small RIB' niche. I have found the Ribeye and the Highfield brand while reviewing old threads. I'm looking for something where the boat stays minimal and...

Thank you for the input, I did look at bit at HIAB's - Very expensive and huge when they need this long reach with 7meter and 200kg+ :eek: Such a crane is also quite monstrous and have very low WAF.

Very useful info, thank you! - The Trem wheels you have seems like a good option. I'll also ask Beachmaster about the loading capacity as their system looks pretty clever too.

You're right! - The reach is a problem. I actually looked at small loaders like these and it gets pretty complicated with maintenance and so on.

That's what i'm thinking with the small Mercury/Quicksilver boat (or similar small boat) and the 20HP (44kg engine). That would be my convenience setup.

I agree with you, I have also wondered if they upped the rating as it's hard to find any comparable boats that can take 20HP.



Good points, as you know I have looked at many other boats and...

The idea is good, the ramps are just much too short. The ramps I have found in the right length (approx 6 meters are very heavy):eek:
