WELCOME TO CUSTOM BOAT LOADERS
Bill & Cameron have more than 75 years experience between them in the 4WD repairs and boating industries. It was Bill & Dian’s passion for caravanning, camping, boating and fishing that brought about the design of the aluminium boat loader/roof rack. In our 14+ years of operation we have become recognised as Australia’s best and most reputable roof rack boat loader.
One person can quickly & easily load & unload an aluminium dinghy on & off their 4WD vehicle roof, using a cordless drill or fully wireless remote controlled version, in about 2 minutes! We also make a heavy duty version to suit the larger boats on the bigger vehicles such as the Ford “F” series, Dodge Ram, Chevy Silverados etc.
The heavy duty, but lightweight construction, is virtually maintenance free and perfect for the serious 4WD’er and those people traveling with a caravan and wanting to take a boat too! It keeps the fun in boating by taking the hard work out of taking the tinnie with you! You can see from the video just how easy it is for anyone to operate. We carry out modifications and repairs to aluminium dinghies; also caravan accessories such as outboard carriers. Cameron can advise you on a choice of boat and outboard, modifications such as gunwale rails, steps, floors etc. Ask us about a quote for a full package deal – we are a One Stop Shop!
Feel free to have a look around our ever growing website and if you have any questions, we’re only a click away, enjoy!
You can leave the boat partially loaded and hose out the interior of the boat before completing the loading. This will protect the roof of the vehicle from salty water. We recommend carrying 20 litres of freshwater to complete the hosing out process.
When loading/unloading the boat will not move even in heavy wind conditions – if it is windy enough to move the boat on the loader it’s too windy to be out boating!!
We have a Makocraft 3.8m v bottom which has a beam of 1.70m. We use a Custom Boat Loader from Perth [very easy to use and an excellent company to deal with] and I would suggest you contact them as they had no qualms about a 1.70m beam on my LC100.
We fitted the loader and everything is working great. We went camping for a week, and had no dramas at all. We are extremely happy with it. It’s one of the best purchases we have ever made, we would absolutely highly recommend it to any one that’s in the market for one. You are all great to deal with during the purchase and even after the purchase, setting up etc. Lovely people and extremely highly regarded. Thanks so very much.
To Di, Bill, Cameron & team, It has been a pleasure doing business with you all, also if you want to I give you permission to put us on your satisfied clients page.
