Powered boat loader

[Walksalot]

Where is the best automatic boat loader for the price? I am pulling a travel trailer so I am thinking rear loader. I drive a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with a 6 liter gas engine and a 6'6" box extended cab.

You could also try Glen Grunert at http://www.loadit.com/products.html Had one of his center motor loaders for 10 years and it's quiet compared to the one with the motor on the side. I only had one motor fail due to water but he replaced it free. He is in Surrey and about 4 blocks from me. I also upgraded the wiring so I could load both my boat and the trailer at the same time. It does struggle with it and I had to help it but it's do-able. Purpose was so I could take off to other lakes and come back to the camp site.

Yup Glen Grunert is Lens brother either group has the same design..Len..lol..
The center motors are the updated..

Does anyone have any current info on these two companies.
Which company has the better boat loader?
The Loadit boat loaders look like they are built with a more lightweight design, are they as strong and durable as the 4 boys boat loaders?

I've got a Load-it, very heavy duty! It's made with heavy extruded aluminum, if you're in the lower mainland yer welcome to come and have a look. K

I would lean towards the Load-It. The service from 4 boys is not good, they don't stand behind their product.
Glen @ Load-It is great to deal with.

Just a heads up, there's a guy selling one on FB for $600, that's a screaming deal!! K

Had a 4 boys installed a month ago and it works like a dream. I understand the load it is manufactured in China i chose canadian manufacturing. Friend has an older Westcan not as strong as the 4 boys the 4 boys is very well made.

Good to know thanks, I was told Load-it was manufactured in mission, so I’ll have to check into this.

Okay want to get one for the front when towing fifth wheel, what do they cost?
i am in poco and do I need to install a front hitch

[srupp]

Hmmm go with Glen..he is in the Langly area..great to deal with quality is top notch..he has units for front ..when towing a fifth wheel or regular over the box units.
4 boys deals with aluminum railing etc..boat loaders seem to be a side gig.
I have my original boat loader from Glens Brother Len from 3 trucks ago...20 ? Years..
Went through 1 motor,1 solonoid in all those years and went to Glens shop while in Vancouver for replacement.
Done exellent by me.
cheers

Well went with the load it, they had a sale on till July 31 and I also got the options free, pick it up aug 6, will see how hard it is to put together.

[srupp]

Hmmm congrads..

Read the instructions very carefully (and more than once) before you start. Take your time and it should work out well. I did mine at home and it has been solid for almost 20 years.

Thanks for the input, I may not get to use it right away as we leave on the 10th for three weeks, but hope to use it maybe in sept hunt.

I am selling mine if anyone interested. Comes with all led lights. Not all loaders would be able to put both the boat and trailer up there. https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13087695_10154087141243529_4210649603517416781_n.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=SPVAZ8UAwqQAX_Lq2fn&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.xx&oh=827d243d8ca4388a63aeebdc8f702d1a&oe=5EC34FB1
