Ty trailer winch question
I finally got a hold of a trailer for my TY, my friend who welds (good to have those) is modifying it for me. I am using Triad Trailer specs posted by Snapfish which were very helpfull. One question remaining is what size winch to use. I read somewhere to go with 1/2 of the weght of the boat which would make it a 1000 lb winch. Floating the boat on is nice but from my experience sometimes you just cant help but to drag the boat up over the bunk to get it to where it belongs on the trailer which puts good amount of stress on the winch. I am tempted to go bigger but i am not sure how much bigger. Doas anyone know what Triad uses? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Keel Support
Triad has a carpet covered channel to support the keel.
I would be amazed if you could drag a boat that heavy
over a solid plane, unless your keel is sitting on rollers.
