boat loader prototype - mrobrien - 02-08-2010

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. Although the site is almost finished the rack is not for sale at this time. 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 son Grant and I built the one on the site. thanks Brien

Interesting. So is this being made for flat bottomed boats then?

That is very impressive but the only problem I see is the people who have caps on the trucks! Like myself for instance, I have a Chevy Colorado Crew cab with special cap on it! So I think maybe you should also check on this type of application as well! But other then that it looks and works great from what I seen on the video! You should put a motor and all the gear it and take it to the water and video it off & back on to prove it works! Good Luck!

That is great! It would be absolutely perfect for some of the places I fish. Some spots aren't trailer friendly. This would solve that prob. Keep us up to date on when this goes into production. God Bless. Dave [Image: happy.gif]

Racks are in production. if you are interested in getting one let me know. They will be ready soon and I will definitely need to sell them or I may have to sell my boat and be down to using my chest waders[sly]
