A walk through of my custom roof top boat loader

This video shows in detail how my boat loader works to get the boat up and down off the roof of the car, it also shows how I made my Kaymar rear wheel carrier into a motor holder so we can carry the boat anywhere in our travels.
I custom made this boat loader looking at others on the market and transforming my Tracklander roof rack to do what i needed it to do for me and my boat.

We are a family of 5 travelling Australia indefinitely in our new Lotus Caravan and our 2021 F350 from Harrison F-Trucks. We will take you to many destinations and let you know what works for us and what doesn’t, so you don’t make the same mistakes.
We are from Perth Western Australia and want to see as many destinations as we can together as a family, we never take the easy road and if we see a track, we always wonder where it will lead us, so we generally take it to see where it leads.

Looks so good, simple but practical. And your 200 sounds awesome.

[@lappingtheisland]

Yeah that was the idea work smarter not harder. Cheers mate I do love the sound of that thing.

[@ezee2daz]

Best set up I've seen. Going to give it a try this summer.

[@tonyott1377]

Amazing!!!!

[@damian31746]

Nice work, I've been looking at making my own too, thanks for some ideas. I have a rhino rear loader that is a pain. Miss the old roof rack.

[@lappingtheisland]

Too easy mate, hope this helps somewhat, it is cheaper and easy to do.

[@mikemillott]

Love it! Looking into a DIY Boat Loader so I can take my Tinny and Camper Trailer up to Exmouth in a few weeks!

[@lukecrane774]

Thats killer. Bet you were quite chaffed when it was finished 😂👌🍻

[@lappingtheisland]

Certainly was mate. Heaps easier.

[@swiliarms]

Legend. I’ve been sketching up some ideas and was similar but you have helped see what I need to do when loading/unloading. I’m going to use a frame that sits on my roof rack and have some gas struts so I can load some boat stuff on my rack and miss the boat seats. Hopefully I can get a hinge that will work well.

[@lappingtheisland]

No problem 👍

[@jennydoughty6666]

what a great idea !! you could make a fortune selling those !!!thank you for the vid

[@lappingtheisland]

Thanks Jenny, there are a few people that already sell them, this was just my version of it and done heaps cheaper. glad you enjoyed the Video

[@wendymcgowan2615]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Sorry about the Eagles 😭

[@tarosin]

Awesome job mate. You wouldn’t happen to have any drawings/dimensions for these parts.

[@stephenmurfit800]

Awesome set-up mate. Did you keep a log of your total set-up costs for the loader? Great job!

[@steveridout6614]

Interested to hear how it went offroad and what dust cover did you use?

[@lappingtheisland]

I never got the chance to use it off road, we sold the car and went a different way with our setup. But I was going to use glad wrap to seal intakes and get a canvas bag to cover over it all if that helps.

[@steveridout6614]

@@lappingtheisland cheers mate, good luck and safe travels for the future!

[@AseanNomad]

Nice video, Thankyou for sharing. Where did you get the little wings from that are attached to your rack?...This is what I need for my ute as I have the same tinnie

[@lappingtheisland]

Me and my old man made them mate, I don't have any drawings or dimensions it was all done to fit my car and boat, sorry.

[@AseanNomad]

[@adamscholz7878]

[@quinnprokopec9062]

Hey mate looks good, did you make the wings or buy them?

[@lappingtheisland]
