electric boat winch

[brett62]

Building a new trailer for a 7 m fiberglass boat and looking at using a electric winch for retrieving the boat. Had a look on flea bay and came across this one.

Would this be suitable or have a suggestion on what I need to look at. The trailer will be a multi roller set up.

This seller is very overpriced he is only rebranding similar products and inflating the price. I purchased a 4000 lb winch with dyneema rope over 2 years ago for just over $160 . Price is now around $180. I have used mine 3 times a week with no problems retrieving a 14 ft tinny loaded with nearly 400kg of batteries plus live bait tank,2 leccies etc.
For an example of his overcharging have a look at his other items for sale. He advertises a 12v wireless conversion kit for $69 that you can get identical for $12 from china.
