Nice towing set-up

[RKBJR]

I saw this set-up on I-40 in Burlington over the weekend, I thought it was interesting.

Just gotta remember the truck is there BEFORE you back the boat into the slip!

I saw that too on Saturday in Wilmington

Must have been takin their last vacation before they have to turn it in because they lost their job and are in debt up to their eyeballs.... Just making an assumption

Nice setup nonetheless, never seen that done before...

Hope boat portion lowers down or thats gonna be a deep boat ramp. Def a intresting setup.

 

[DIRTYD]

It doesn't look like the Boat can drop down. Probably just drops by a Marina and lets the Forklift take it off if I had to take a guess. Definatly a cool setup.

Someone has some money.

They sure don't do anything small in Texas do they?

Interesting:
TOTAL LOAD CAPACITY (VEHICLE & BOAT)
5000 LBS

5000 LBS


Especially given this line on their page:
The Built Rite Trailer will handle as much as a Suburban on the bottom and a 22' boat on the top.

I think that will be over the 5k weight.

The one on there web site shows the boat lowered to the deck for launching. Pretty cool set up.

Now this has me wondering how much my Ranger weighs.....I think my motor may be ~600lbs by itself. And I dont see a rating above 3750.
I think Id be safe, but I am sure there are many olther set ups that wouldnt be.

 

[stevehayden]

23' model can handle 7500lbs.

you talking about a ranger boat?

 

[banditbasser]

I have seen some of the touring bass pros use them... here is Alton Jones that raises the entire trailer:

I know Steve Kennedy uses one as well.

yeah guess I should been more specific not the truck.

If the trailer drops the boat down, i'd hate to back that expensive rig down the boat ramp in saltwater...
