Post Re: Winch on Duck boats
Pulling across dry ground, getting on and off the trailer when the water is low, getting yourself off of a log jam you didn't realize was there, and my personal favorite, i use mine to help me fit in between trees that my big ass boat wouldn't squeeze through.

It's so you can carry more weight in the front of the boat and cuss when there is never anything to hook it up to

I've only used mine twice in three years. Each time I had run up onto a bone dry mudflat and could not get to water to cut a hole. Was sure happy to have that winch and a big anchor to pull against!
