Don't scrimp. I'd say 4000lb minimum when you consider the boat, motor, gas, batts, gear, and people. Spend the coin for an electric winch. When you pull in on a windy day, you can use a remote on the electric winch to lift the boat with you and your partner until the boat gets stabilized off the big waves. I've got a ShoreStation as well and it's pretty nice. Ran electricity to the end of the dock and installed a quality after market electric winch. I opted not to go with the battery powered winch, instead relying on a cordless drill over-ride should the electric power ever go out. Never had to use that option though.
didn't think about people, good point.... I won't beable to run power out, our dock is pretty long. So battery will have to do. |
