I built my Angus Expedition Rowboat in fall 2023 and finished it in spring 2024, and used it that summer. Now I'm moving to a place with no flat water and need to sell. Selling it with ...
How I imagine it: How it really is:
Not a question, just a request. Get some pics of onlookers reactions when they witness your greatness!
I also made a new thread that details how I store and transport my RowCruiser. You can see that here: https://angusrowboats.com/community/xenforum/topic/180042/cartopping-my-rowcruiser
To unload, I just reverse the process. Here's one more thing I found to be very useful. I bolted two vynil coated cable loops under the hood, so I can bring them out and tie twin bow lines to them...
Then I continue to roll it up onto the roof... ...until it reaches the balance point and I tip it up on with one hand. Note the two angled pieces of wood that displace some of the load to the...
Then I engage the winch to lift the front of the chassis up to the rack. The small wheels at the back allow it to roll forward. At this point I remove the temporary wheels (even though they have...
To load the boat, I hand wheel it up behind the truck... ...run the cable under the handlebar to the back end and run it through the block (which is easily popped off and back on)... ...then ...
Everything is loaded/unloaded with a Harbor Freight BadLands winch plugged into the trailer hitch receiver, with wires that are temporarily clipped onto the vehicle battery. I built a custom woo...
Here are some details about the process. The garage winch is designed for lifting roof tents off Jeeps. It is a product made by my across-the-street neighbor's family company. The great thing abou...
The whole boat/chassis combo is lifted onto my vehicle with a DC winch, and up to the roof of my garage with an AC winch. No lifting is required for either operation. Once it's lifted into pla...
Here's the RowCruiser on the chassis, where it remains at all times except when afloat. The chassis doubles as a launch ramp dolly, and the boat remains on it from storage to transport to launch.
There is a set of wheels that are quickly added and removed with four simple latches. The positioning of the wheels makes it easy to roll the boat around with little effort.
My entire system revolves around this goofy gizmo. Let's call it the chassis:
I started my RowCruiser project with the two initial requirements. I wanted to be able to: 1) transport it on top of my Tundra, and 2) store it on the roof...
@Colin Angus Thank you, Colin. That is the ultimate compliment. And thanks for making it possible! Thank you too, Tony.
That looks fantastic! Well done! Enjoy your days ahead on the water.
The Necky Tesla is a rowing boat with a sliding seat. It’s an older boat with some wear and sun fading, but it’s still strong and ready to use. It’s fast and fun to row, great for...
