[quote=raisehull]I did all of the metal fab myself (design, metal purchase, cutting, welding, Etc.) from the ground up. I think, with the winch and the materials i have around $300.00US into it. I got an "Receiver extender" to mount the winch to. It allows me to pull any trailer with the winch installed. Rather than mounting it to the boat trailer as the winch is then dedicated to that specific duty. Stepping the mast or dropping it is Very stable. The line I am hanging onto is looped thru the rings for my righting line, then tied to the hiking cables. I can control the mast from swinging with one hand, run the winch with the other.[/quote]
