its a 6 hp.
didn't mean to offend anyone.
my bad my bad. I just don't see much of winching here on this topic in the forum.
I should assume that if its action/water sport related someone will be interested.

I am amazed at how many people have built custom winch devices.. Prices seem pretty high on the retail versions but I bet someone is going to come out with a low cost winch.

if anyone is planning to make a winch really seriously plan on putting wheels on it. otherwise its a two or three person job to get it anywhere. Its heavier than it looks.
flixmaster, When I first learned about winches I was too young to know how to make my own but I wanted one soo badly. After a couple years I realized that buying one was out of the question and I realized I knew enough to make my own.
