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...

Hey Patrick, Yes, the boat is in UT. We are leaving for Oregon on June 9th.
Needed a way to chill after a busy day of running errands. An online casino sounded like a nice idea so I hunted for a trustworthy one. To be honest Black Bear Casino stood out with its huge game l...
Hello Craig, is the boat in Utah now? Do you have any other pictures?
