Totally agree. You're doing professional work, constantly, and it's completely understandable that you need a good, high quality winch (or winches). And as you say, for the occasional boater like myself, my Powerwinch is more than sufficient. My caution was just that it's best to avoid the cheap winches, because in the long run they will cost more than buying a good high quality unit.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
