Hi all,
I’m wondering if anyone has experience with either of these rear boat loading systems:
LoadIt https://loadit.com/
LoadMyBoat https://www.loadmyboat.com/
They’re roof rack systems designed to help load a 12–16 ft bench-style boat onto ladder racks, typically mounted on trucks. Both are Canadian-made and seem fairly popular north of the boarder, but I haven’t been able to find much information or user feedback from folks here in the U.S.
For context—why I’m even looking into these—I do a lot of off-grid camping while towing a small camper and hauling a side-by-side on top of it. I used to carry a Grumman sport boat on top of a Suburban, but recently upgraded to a 3/4-ton pickup, which means the roof rack is quite a bit higher. Lifting the boat up there is going to be a challenge, and the idea of a purpose-built loading system is pretty appealing (especially being able to bring a bigger boat).
If you’ve used one of these systems or know someone who has, I’d really appreciate any feedback or contact info you can share.
Thanks,
Pete
