Hoping someone on the board might have a suggestion for me. I have a 13 ft pontoon, approx 120 lb. Currently I have two cross beams on my truck's fiberglass topper . I lean the pontoon against the back of the truck and slide it up and on to the back beam and then push it forward to the front beam. It's a bit of work, harder when the pontoon is rigged for two. Here's my question:

I have seen (somewhere) a system that allows a cartopper to be winched on to the back of an RV. I'm wondering if I could do the same by putting a small winch on the back cross beam and then attaching the cable to the rear part of the pontoon. Turn winch on, it pulls the back forward, front end pivots and falls to the front beam. Basically what I'm doing by hand only have the winch do the work. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? My back needs some relief. PS, buying a flat bed trailer is not an option unless I sell my 15 aluminum boat and I'm not quite willing to do that - yet!

Thanks for your help!
