AIRTUG S-E Trailer Tug - moving a Boston Whaler

[@bigpermsgarage6290]

It's a beefed up 2 wheel dolly with a winch and a gear. I made a manual set up that works good, but I will be adding a motor soon.

[@hawkdaddy64]

I saw the front wheel rise during takeoff which for me means the balance of the machine is incorrect.

[@ariip]

Yes, just looking at it. The drive wheels need to be further back under the trailer tongue and the ball needs to be more centered between the drive wheels and the front wheel.

[@hstfk]

He already took of very slow trying to prevent that

[@GovG33k]

Okay I get it, a rare scarce item that fill a need. But do you really have to charge $2,500 for design and production? Even at half this it's still quite expensive. Looks like I build mine battle-bot style with affordable parts.

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

I sooo need this.

[@Jkur2009]

Is that just a starter motor??? Pretty sure I could build one for under $200.

[@hstfk]

An atv winch

Where can I buy an used one?

You just cut out the moment where the Airtug reaches the ice.

[@dennisreynolds6915]

be cheaper to buy an old riding lawnmower or old fourwheeler

[@rski1036]

Agree, however when only for occasional use, maintaining gas motors pain in the ass, and takes up more room. This one is just too expensive; there are many others.

[@bigpermsgarage6290]

My 4 wheeler only has a 1300lb tow rating, so that wouldn't work for bigger trailers.

[@jdonalds2001]

Wow premium price.

[@jimmycline4778]

I think I’ll build my own, these would sale like hot cakes if they sold for around 500! Theirs not a lot to it!

[@radiovncr]

toooo expensive

[@rnordquest]

Bet they're based on models for moving aircraft, hence the price. Small volume + decent quality = high price.

[@sansui1968]

n people wonder why china sells so much crap everywhere ....someone above says 2500 well ill beat that n use solid state battery oh well

[@thomasdilbert7712]

Put that Whaler back in the garage - it's freezing to death!

[@pg9112471]

A winch motor is very inefficient.

[@FranksBmwAdv]

way over priced !
