boat loader prototype

mrobrien

Message: I invented a boat loader for my truck so I could take my boat when I camp. I wanted to keep the boat upright so I could keep the battery and tackle inside and not to mention the seats. I built a website to show the design www.tdipowerrack.com. The website is almost finished. Before I go for broke I would like to hear what anyone thinks of the rack design. Would anyone buy it if I mass produced it. The rack weighs about 300lb. My friend Mike and I built the one on the site. thanks Brien

Not sure i want to drive my car around with half farm gate on my roof.
Why not simply a track and guide??
Is this legal? 300Ibs plus the weight of the boat, don't corner too quickly.

hey rambo
the average ladder rack carries 1000 plus pounds. Unless your boat weighs over 700 lb you would be legal and safe.
It goes on a truck not a car. Its not simple a track and guide so it can be used to haul more than just boats.
