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!!
Its been a while since I last spoke to you but just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the loader is fantastic. I have been out quite a bit and have used the loader each time. I had it for 15 months now and it hasn’t missed a beat. In fact, I was travelling up the freeway on one trip and the tyre on my trailer blew out. I didn’t have a spare so I pulled into a service station and unloaded the boat on a grassed area, then loaded the boat onto the roof of the Patrol and broke the Real Ezy trailer down and loaded it into the truck. Got a tyre at the next city but now the boat stays on the roof whenever I have a fair distance to go – it travels great and my mates are very envious.
We are very happy with the loader. We had no trouble setting it up and have tried it at home to see how we went with it. Very easy to use! We would recommend it to anyone that was interested in getting a loader. It is one of the best that we have seen. If we ever get over your way we will hopefully be able to call on you.
Just wanted to send you an email as a testimonial of our experiences with your company Custom Boat Loaders.
I purchased my loader from you back in 2010 and have loved the unit ever since. I upgraded my boat and your support and advise re changes required to the gear box and how to replace it was fantastic. Living in Adelaide I needed to be able to do the change myself and your input and support through this process was magic. Recently I changed my vehicle and you could not have been more helpful regarding information, support and the offer for a local aluminium fabricator to be able to contact you regarding the best way to support the loader through an existing fibreglass canopy.
Selling a product is one thing, back up service is another and it is in this area you again excel.
As a user of your product and almost more importantly as a customer requiring follow up support you and your company have been exceptional and I highly recommend Custom Boat Loaders to everyone that reads this not just for the quality and performance of the boat loader but also for the fantastic after sales service provided even after 10 years from the date of purchase.
Well done Cameron, to you and Janine thank you for how you have treated me as a customer.
I will always promote your company whenever the opportunity arises.
