All the complaints. Yet not 1 of you intelligent enough .to see how 1 person.can do what none of you would even try. Not everyone are rich enough to have all best toys GOD BLESS YOU SIR.FOR SHOWING WHAT A INTELLIGENT MAN CAN DO.
This is brilliant with no cuts you were able to launch and retrieve in around 10 mins. I have waited at the ramp much longer than that watching someone back in a trailer. Also using the winch line to lift the front of the boat while pulling it forward is genius.
Smart man , good you only pay one toll and dont have to worry about getting a flat on a trailer does not have to pay for a extra tag , great job , just one thing i think the truck shoul be closer to the dock but then it will be hard to walk around great job mister and you are saving hard earned money
A pretty neat bit of rough engineering, but that does NOT look easier than a boat trailer. Still, an interesting concept. I'm guessing someone makes a well-engineered commercial version of this. Loading was much faster than the launch.
For a short haul, just buy a trailer. But for taking the boat to a lake far from home and where you plan on spending a lot of time on the water while you are there or even towing a camper or something else, this is a good plan though an extendable bunk assembly could be a faster way to get the job done. I have a Ford E450 that I'll be installing a 16'x8' flatbed onto this year and plan to haul my 16' Starcraft on the bed rather than hauling my trailer on a long road trip. Plus it gives me the option of towing something else like a small camper trailer. My plan is to build a bunk assembly for the flatbed with extendable bunks and mount the assembly on a pivot point at the rear of the bed. Maybe even use a a couple drop-leg jacks to lift the front of the assembly. And since those jacks have around 30" of travel I could increase the amount of lift by mounting them toward the back a little. Could even install them upside down and link the two cranks together so I could raise them with a single crank handle... The drop-leg trailer jacks could take the place of the two rear supports on your current set up???
Ok! How about a simplification? put the winch on the front of the truck with track rollers at pressure points or skid as you pull it up over the cab roller brace it will tilt for you and then just put back brace cross member or hooks and strap to hook and strap at the same time to hold in place ... hook and tighten front straps, tie motor, unhook cable or attach aerodynamic cover so no vibration at high speeds and you are done!! Also this way you can get it more level, more aerodynamic. Personally as small as this is I'd turn it around and pull up a bit, take the motor off, put in truck in cradle, then take cable from winch in front and run to the bow with stern on stop block. As it pulls it will lift bow up and over so it is upside-down and finish as described above. now you have a covered truck and can use the bed... hell put verticals with windows and you've got a camper, mount the motor under the back like the wind up old Mitsubishi or was that Toyota that had the wind up spare tire?? Now it is aerodynamic, won't fill with water and covers the truck and anything in it, especially how wide this boat is (wonderful) .. make the poles so they can extend and you can raise it up as high as you want for whatever reason... I'd make it a clicker type and just lift to the height you want and do the other end (vertical pipes holding up the other end) rig it so you can flip and it releases once you lift and then let it down... pop up camper.... Well, my three cents worth. I have a sunfish sailboat (heavier) on top of a Subaru station wagon with roof rack. I place bow on the roof with the stern on the ground, hook the bow line to the opposite side of the front bumper then lift the stern and pivot, walk the stern around till over the roof equally. Strap it and the mast and sail with boom and I'm done.. I learned to do it stern first for proper positioning so I don;t have to slide and wiggle and all that to get it where it needs to go and it is a bit easier to lift the heavy end first and if help is available there is two side to grab and lift this way. The aerodynamics is safer and much more efficient on the fuel upside down. Blessings and thanks for the share!!
Jim don't be deterred by all the negativity. I bet u got some other ideas that are cool. My grandfather lost his leg in WW2 and he had a wooden leg. He took me fishing with only him pulling boat off old car roof and then carried engine after he got boat in water and mounted. He also had a cool tv tower from power pole, he could tilt to repair. He was 80 when he took me fishing I was too young to help carry boat. He lived a great life, did not depend on Gov hand outs and had two homes.
Saves money on having to buy a trailer license and registrations I wanted to buy a 14 foot Jon boat but after looking up how much plus trailer and everything else I thought maybe I could get just a 12 foot boat again like before that I actually hauled on the roof of a car one time Now that I see this video I'm like, OK I can do that with my truck and have the 14 foot boat :) I was even thinking I would make mine where the boat rides level then saw how he was trying to do that with a scissor jack and thought no not like that I would put like a 50 pound weight in the front of the boat to offset the engine weight so once up there you could easily lift the back of the boat onto those poles That's a neat ideal ya had there Jim
No, I think it's a public ramp. Instead of having a trailer for his boat like most people do, he concocted this method. For the $11.00 in the cost of tags, and fairly light maintenance, a trailer is so much nicer. He could have gotten a trailer from Harbor Freight Co. for around $125.00, assembled it and put a bed on it and used that to haul his boat plus other stuff. However, different strokes for different folks.
I believe what you created exceeds the bounds of mere common sense and bridges the gap between common sense and practical physics. Once more I say, well done!
I understand the concept of saving money by not buying a trailer and the cost associated with the up keep but two thoughts come to mind1.Work smarter not harder/ buy a cheap lightweight trailer2. Really glad he didn't have a line of guys waiting to use the boat ramp (that would be bad)
would have been cheaper to buy a boat trailer, don't you think? These guys have been working on such things for thousands of years. Thanks for sharing your square wheel, though...
this is so danderous,,wind pressure between truck and boat will make this man loose control on road. smart but soooooo dangerous... should not be allowed on public road
Nice ldea , but would be a little nervous to go on the freeway with it like that, local use only would be ok, p.s Jim if you like it, and it works for you, that's what matters!!👍
a good idea but unsafe as hell the bars that hold the back should slide in a track with a safety latch so it cant fall as your lifting it like when the jack tryed to fall out and the jack shuld also be bolted,welded or pined or its a bad day waiting to happen. keep refining and you"ll get it.. thanks for sharing
I think you have been very creative in devising a solution that meets your needs. If you are happy with it I wouldn't criticize. I just wouldn't want to be waiting my turn at the boat ramp while you were retrieving your boat. I wonder though, how big of an RV can you tow while you also have that boat catching a lot of wind in that mid-size truck? I assume that it is a small pop-up camper.
Wow. Talk about doing things the very hard way. Also, if that boat fell off the truck driving down the road... around here the police would not allow this.
WTF.... lol.... I just told my son thats some shit that you would see around here not knowing where it was actually at.......I live in Frostproof..... This county is loaded with idiots thats for sure!!!
LMFAO... From the looks of this piece of shit truck and boat... LOL I sure would like to see the RV... LOL Will they REALLY let you pull that on the road?
Very similar to what I am planning except I plan to mount the boat to a trailer/cart and load the cart on and off the truck. For the exact same reason too as I pull my truck behind my motorhome. Please tell me what size is the boat? I am guessing 16 foot. Thanks for the video.
fastfoodvon May I suggest using a winch at least 5000 lbs? From my experience. Or think about a screw drive like a garage door opener with a trailer hitch ball. Just food for thought
Thanks Jim. I already have a 9000 lb winch that I use in both the front and rear hitch receiver, so that is what I will be using to lift the boat cart with boat. I will have a small boat winch for the cart. My boat loaded weighs about 700 lbs, so I think I should be good. I'll post a video when done in about June/July. I have now watched both videos about 3 times. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone.
Hell you can't even use your truck for hauling other items with that boat junk in it all the time... Hell Just buy a cheap $250.00 boat trailer and be done with it... I would hate to do all that just to get a boat down to the river to fish a little... Also There no way people at the ramps around here would let you take all day to get that junk in and out of the water... Here more than 2 or 3 minutes and their cussing you out... In your case Kicking Your Ass!!!
Don't be jealous now, just because you guys can't even build a birdhouse and don't own a grinder or welder. You shouldn't let other peoples smart engineering make you feel stupid to the point of getting defensive and insulting. I would love to see anything you guys have built, but that won't happen because there is nothing.
Exactly, you sit behind your computer designing software. Where do you work, Wago? Rockwell? I have plenty of engineer friends at Boeing, and most likely like you, they can't change the oil in their car. What is an actual safety hazard is putting a power tool in a software engineers hand. Have you ever used a welder? Don't hate on the guy for being poor and creative, or making things at home. That is just ignorant. You're making fun of the philosophy of your own occupation.
nelsondln lol get real. You were the one coming in here making ignorant assumptions about the rest of us, claiming we couldn't build a birdhouse or something basic like welding or grinding for christs sake. You came in here on a high horse, shitting on others. And....what poverty? He's got a fucking _pleasure boat_ you witless twat, and a vehicle to transport it with. Stop making such a mockery of *actual* poverty by equating it to this halfassedness. Are you really so oblivious to the world that a man with the luxury of not only a car but a boat and the tools to build a haulout system is to you "poverty"? My comments about trailer parks are more to do with general ignorance and likely trumpkin status. I'm making no complaints about money.
Ummmm maybe a smaller boat would be better? I understand the issue with rv, truck and boat. They do make boats that fold up! I take it it's just you and your wife. So a smaller boat maybe better. Just my $.02. happy boating!!
Incredibly ingenious, but is the savings on a boat trailer (and possibly where to keep it) really worth all that time, effort and activity we see? Also how far from the launch does he live because the front half of the boat is susceptible to wind resistance. There is no tie down of the bow to the truck. When I had my 22 foot Thompson on an E Z loader, I was out of the water, lights connected, tied down and on the road in 5 minutes. Still it is a incredibly clever design and space saver if necessary. You could even drag a travel trailer with that idea.
G. R We pull the truck and boat behind our RV so this way we have a vehicle to drive when not fishing. It drives better than you think, the wind doesn't bother as much as you think
I made this video very slowly so people could see how it is done. This was only an idea that works for me you have to be capable of doing this. Obviously not everyone is!
Beautiful engineering Jim! I love it. Ignore the haters that don't understand the satisfaction of building something, they probably can't change their own oil. Peoples answers to everything these days is "call the repair man/mechanic/plumber" or "go buy a new one duh". These people don't get it, what it feels like to be self sufficient and be able to build or fix anything you want. This is a sign of true intelligence.
I tried to do something like this with my heavy kayak that I have to pick up ty o put in the back of my truck but I failed to think of putting winch canle c to back under neath not to front. I hook to front and the winch wouldn't pull at the steep angle.
Way to involved for the real world. Much quicker and easier just to trailer it. And it will make to truck get crappy fuel mileage. I catches to much wind up there.
actually been thinkin on how to do this. doesnt look as easy as i thought it would....... back to the drawing board for me...... have you tried a winch on the front? im thinking of a winch mounted on the front and no scissor jack just push up the level it. i have a 12 foot V bow boat.
You're like the kid whose dad shows him how to catch and clean a fish, and the kid says "dad just buy it at the store". You incapable people miss the entire point of beauty behind engineering.
All the complaints. Yet not 1 of you intelligent enough .to see how 1 person.can do what none of you would even try. Not everyone are rich enough to have all best toys GOD BLESS YOU SIR.FOR SHOWING WHAT A INTELLIGENT MAN CAN DO.

BY GOD HE'S GETTIN IN THE WATER THOUGH WHEN A LOT JUST WANT TO. GOOD FOR HIM.

Jim - kudos! Your device is EXACTLY as described - well done!!
Jeffrey Reynolds wait till you see the new version! We have been improving it as needed. Thanks

I love the ingenuity. This one may not be practical for everyday use but keep up the good work.
With ALLLLL that work to unload and reload the boat, I'd just rather get a trailer!
Great idea.a small 12 v drill would have been nice to raise the scissor Jack.
Saves money on having to buy a trailer license and registrations
I wanted to buy a 14 foot Jon boat but after looking up how much plus trailer and everything else I thought maybe I could get just a 12 foot boat again like before that I actually hauled on the roof of a car one time

That's a neat ideal ya had there Jim
oh la vache il a vraiment envie de s'emmerder lui achète une remorque ça va 10 fois plus vite
I'm glad I'm not the next guy in line waiting to launch my boat.
Is that his private ramp.........
No, I think it's a public ramp. Instead of having a trailer for his boat like most people do, he concocted this method. For the $11.00 in the cost of tags, and fairly light maintenance, a trailer is so much nicer. He could have gotten a trailer from Harbor Freight Co. for around $125.00, assembled it and put a bed on it and used that to haul his boat plus other stuff. However, different strokes for different folks.
Well I think with all the views he got on this one utube pay him enough to buy trailer.
I wonder how many birthdays this guy had by the time he finally got that thing in the water. At that age he couldn't have too many to spare.
Downright ingenious. Well done, sir!
Walter Holland thanks only trying to solve a problem and show others how to use common sense
I believe what you created exceeds the bounds of mere common sense and bridges the gap between common sense and practical physics.
Once more I say, well done!
You must really like fishing.
Dan Stump I do thanks for noticing
I understand the concept of saving money by not buying a trailer and the cost associated with the up keep but two thoughts come to mind1.Work smarter not harder/ buy a cheap lightweight trailer2. Really glad he didn't have a line of guys waiting to use the boat ramp (that would be bad)
At least you don't have to check the wheel bearing on the trailer .
Jim you did that fucking shit! Nice work sir.
would have been cheaper to buy a boat trailer, don't you think? These guys have been working on such things for thousands of years. Thanks for sharing your square wheel, though...
I admire this guy, I'm just not sure why!
I admire the ingenuity but if it was me I would just buy a trailer and save a lot of time
Hey Dad, let's go spend a day at the boat landing.
Say what you want it worked.. 👍👏👏 ive seen people with trailers take longer and do damage. So congratulations sir you are a winner in my book. Lol
this is so danderous,,wind pressure between truck and boat will make this man loose control on road.
smart but soooooo dangerous...
should not be allowed on public road
Very clever but damn thats a lot of work!
Nice ldea , but would be a little nervous to go on the freeway with it like that, local use only would be ok, p.s Jim if you like it, and it works for you, that's what matters!!👍
If I had to that, I would loose interest in boating, but it works for him, well thought out.
Unbelieveable.
jim just imagine if everyone had this set up.noone would get to go fishing.
Very creative but I would not want to go fishing every morning if I had to do that every morning just before daylight
I love it but buy a cordless drill for that jack, or a truck rack for 299 at harbor freight. LOL
LOL you can hear the people at the ramp laughing their ass off at this shit! @ 16:46
That's is amazing ,well done.
a good idea but unsafe as hell the bars that hold the back should slide in a track with a safety latch so it cant fall as your lifting it like when the jack tryed to fall out and the jack shuld also be bolted,welded or pined or its a bad day waiting to happen. keep refining and you"ll get it.. thanks for sharing
the ONLY thing at issue here is that the weight of the motor is too high for the center of gravity of the rig; everything else is perfect.
I think you have been very creative in devising a solution that meets your needs. If you are happy with it I wouldn't criticize. I just wouldn't want to be waiting my turn at the boat ramp while you were retrieving your boat. I wonder though, how big of an RV can you tow while you also have that boat catching a lot of wind in that mid-size truck? I assume that it is a small pop-up camper.
Thats cool. A nob well done.
Happy fishing.
This Dude should be running the government!
Wow. Talk about doing things the very hard way. Also, if that boat fell off the truck driving down the road... around here the police would not allow this.
that is very clever nice job.
Only in Polk County, will you see this kind of ingenuity. Looks like Banana Lake
Polk County, Iowa?
Your at Banana Lake in Lakeland, Florida
WTF.... lol.... I just told my son thats some shit that you would see around here not knowing where it was actually at.......I live in Frostproof..... This county is loaded with idiots thats for sure!!!
Thanks for the comments. We did this so we can travel with our RV and fish for FUN
LMFAO... From the looks of this piece of shit truck and boat... LOL I sure would like to see the RV... LOL Will they REALLY let you pull that on the road?

Just because you can doesn't mean you should! Lets not even talk about the legal issues...
Fitafter50 there's no legal issues, you just don't want to consider it's possible
By the time you been all doing that I'll be out fishing or back home with a nice cuppa tea either way
i guess you do what you have to to be able to go fishing but that looks like a lot of work. but like it.
Thanks the only reason I made this video was to show what you can do with a little common sense and ingenuity.
It would be a lot easier and quicker to just buy a trailer
If it works ...Use it....Excellent
Hell you can't even use your truck for hauling other items with that boat junk in it all the time... Hell Just buy a cheap $250.00 boat trailer and be done with it...

May I ask, why not just pick up an old boat trl?
If you notice, I prep the boat in the parking lot then go to ramp unload or load. It only takes a few minutes to get out of the way.
Incredibly ingenious, but is the savings on a boat trailer (and possibly where to keep it) really worth all that time, effort and activity we see? Also how far from the launch does he live because the front half of the boat is susceptible to wind resistance. There is no tie down of the bow to the truck.

banana lake ,540A just go buy a trailer....there is a lot of small trailer for very little money ...what you doing is not safe
Sir, go buy a CHEAP TRAILER, I mean really dude. Wow!
And the boat will be on the roof of his truck until he has to go next time.
I made this video very slowly so people could see how it is done. This was only an idea that works for me you have to be capable of doing this. Obviously not everyone is!
jim hill hows it haul down the highway in ur little truck?
Obviously, to each their own.
+ JimHILL Capable oh huh why didn't I think of that damn!
jim hill right you are
Beautiful engineering Jim! I love it. Ignore the haters that don't understand the satisfaction of building something, they probably can't change their own oil. Peoples answers to everything these days is "call the repair man/mechanic/plumber" or "go buy a new one duh". These people don't get it, what it feels like to be self sufficient and be able to build or fix anything you want. This is a sign of true intelligence.
you got to do what you gotta do... cant back up a trailer? no problem!!
I tried to do something like this with my heavy kayak that I have to pick up ty o put in the back of my truck but I failed to think of putting winch canle c to back under neath not to front. I hook to front and the winch wouldn't pull at the steep angle.
00:70: Unload the boat on the lake
12:00: Lunch time
13:00 Reload the boat on the pick up
17:00 Go to the grocery for fish buy.
Way to involved for the real world. Much quicker and easier just to trailer it. And it will make to truck get crappy fuel mileage. I catches to much wind up there.
Fuckin cool thx for sharing
lets see the car driving at 75mph. Gotta be hairy!
It would be certainly cheaper and safer to buy a trailer. This has to be the most illogical things I have seen in boating
It’s a TRUCK! it has a HITCH! Buy a TRAILER! The video takes him 30 minutes to secure the boat? WHY, MAN, WHY?? #pleaseslapthisguy
Its nice to have an idea and try it out, but this is just impractical and hokey dokey. go back to the drawing board and better luck.
actually been thinkin on how to do this. doesnt look as easy as i thought it would....... back to the drawing board for me...... have you tried a winch on the front?
im thinking of a winch mounted on the front and no scissor jack just push up the level it. i have a 12 foot V bow boat.
I'm sorry someone kicked your ass at the boat ramp, some people are not understanding.
ingenious but time consuming and possibly dangerous especially in bad weather and high speeds
that's a lot of work. buy you a trailer
Nice...It works and without a trailer! How do you offload at home?...and no drive through breakfasts for you at Mc Donalds : )
Dano Vido Unloads on the ground just as easy.
I'D quit fishing before I'd do all that to haul a boat.Maybe shore fish,
your missing the point he set out to do something and he did it,,,congrats for doin it your way
What's the difference between that contraption and a boat trailer?? I know a boat trailer isn't over engineered!!
I pull the truck with an RV so there is no problem with wind.
How do you pull a truck with an RV?
What dose your rv look like? A tent and a little red wagon.
If your in that big a hurry.take up golf
WORKS SAVES MONEY
Ahhhhh, to much work but it I a clever idea
This type of thing wouldn't go over well at my local boat ramp
so truck is a one trick pony? why not buy a trailer and have full use of truck?
senecadaze to travel with my motorhome
Sorry. Interesting to watch , but not very pratical, or safe. Also very time consuming for most ramps. I agree, buy a cheap trailer.
I'd be to tired to fish after that.....Just buy a Trailer
Thats what happens when you can't back a trailer
ummm just buy a cheap trailer
Seriously. Craigslist. Not hard to find.
No shit!
Who needs a Trailer!
You're like the kid whose dad shows him how to catch and clean a fish, and the kid says "dad just buy it at the store". You incapable people miss the entire point of beauty behind engineering.
Right . In my area in Texas you spend this much time loading and loading you gonna get shit on.
Just him and his Johnson
Trailers are cheaper than car wrecks or trips to the hospital!! Get serious.
Lotharqp loser, no common sense
Holy fuck!
Guess he don't know how to back up a trailer.
PS Your truck is really scratched up by the winch cable. Not a good idea for 50 grand trucks..
Will not pass D.O.T. any where.
what he paid for that electric winch he could of bought a cheap used bunk trailer.
guess no one else had to use ramp ?
21:20 almost breaks window out of truck
Half hour wasted!! I guess he has another pickup at home to use if he needs an empty one.
soooo dangerous
