i just started purchasing components to build a kicker that will blow your mind. visit rollingbarge.com for the general idea. i already have the 55 gallon drums that will float a trailer which will transform into a kicker or fun box or rail, and STILL transport my winch, generator, camping supplies on it, this will be an entire wakeboard winch camping experience in one DOT approved trailer. have no doubt, constuction begins this weekend _________________ ☆PHOENIX WINCH☆

That's friggin awesome! What are you going to make it out of? The prices on their website are steeper than I expected, but the construction does look solid, and much lighter than wood. _________________ You have just entered the twilight zone. |

the frame will be constructed from .083 wall 1" square tube, the kicker will be pressure treated plywood laminated with linoleum, the trailer will be DOT registered and I'll put a small motor on the barge then register it as a watercraft so that when it's anchored on the lake, the sheriff can not cite us for obstruction of waterway like they would with a normal floating kicker _________________ ☆PHOENIX WINCH☆

i picked up a 3500lb axle from craigslist but it's in rough shape, technically i could roll with it as is but i'd like to adjust the pitch of the idler hub arm so that the axle sits as high as possible, lots of steps and work to get it loose from its current position _________________ ☆PHOENIX WINCH☆

not only did I come up on some more angle for free this past week, I decided to put the barrels to use on this massive dude.... 10'x7' barge, 16' kicker, dual grind rails on the edges, the barge holds 4-9 barrels for whatever load you want to throw at it, I'm hosting a winch party this Sunday and we'll put it to the test, once it passes its paint time baby
