Thanks to those who enquired - we have a 100 series owner about to become a proud and happy Custom Boat Loader owner - who was suitably impressed with the product - thanks Gerry!

PS if anyone else is interested in a loader give us a call before they start the advertising campaign. We are happy to send a cd with a mpeg file of it.

Hi Andrew,
Bill isn't here at present so I will try to answer your question.
No it can't be mounted on a existing roof rack as it is an alumimum roof rack incorporated into a boat loader.
We found when we built our first one that we made a aluminum roof rack and then fixed the various parts to this to make the loader. This made it very high and required a fair amount of setting up - and also heavy.
This one Bill and I just lift off ourselves when we don't want it on - it is simply a matter of unclipping 4 clips. Without the boat it is just a roof rack with a winch and a few ropes and used as a roof rack. (Bill is 60 and I'm the child bride)!
Even the winch is easy - electric - Bill puts it on and off alone in minutes - everywhere we go _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx a crowd and eveyone who has seen it is absolutely "blown away"!
If you would like me to email you a couple of pics / CD with mpeg file- I am happy to do so - I'm sure you too will be impressed!
Dian

Dian, like the Big Kidz I've got an ARB rack and would like to have a boat loader as
well. If you could send me a couple of pictures I'd appreciate it.
By the way, whereabouts are you?
Thanks.
Alan.
