Gantry Cranes
 
What are you guys using for Gantry or A-Frame cranes to pull your power? A friend has a cheapie i've used before but that thing makes me nervous! Northern has a decent one 10' wide 10' tall. I figured a little taller might be nice.

mine is 15 high and 15 wide,the extra height is nice for the boats with a lot of free board.

10 foot wont get it up, out and over the transom. At least it didnt work for me. I had to borrow a tow motor.

A local tow truck can also pluck that baby and set her back in for not more than beer money.

That is what I do to. My local guy pulls and sets it in about 30 minutes either direction. Of course I have every detail ready.

I built one out of wood. Needed 12' of vertical and it barely cleared the transom. $120 worth of lumber and a 1 ton chain fall worked perfect.
