Shop Stand used as a Loading Ramp

That's how I load my ski, although my ramp is a little less ghetto.... We have a toolbox in the truck and it now has a big dent in it thanks to XScream. Turns out when you drop in an 822cc XScream 8mm stroker, a quick blip on the throttle launches the ski quite a bit further. Smacked the toolbox and bounced right off and back into the water!! Good thing I did some reinforcing when I swapped motors :biggthumpup:

Every time I put my ski on the truck people look at me like I'm an idiot when I back down the ramp. When they see me put it up there they always say "that's the coolest thing I ever saw!" - I always get a kick out of that! I can't use a trailer since we almost always have the boat on the back of the truck too, so this means I can get both things to the water without two vehicles.

funny thing, it would be easier just to lift the nose onto the bed of the truck and push it in.....the shop stand is making him work harder

this is the dumbest thing i have herd all day and today is friday the retards are out.
 
a good idea would to bolt a small Warn winch on the front of the bed... then hook it up to the ski and hit a button.... might need a small ramp or just get the nose on the tailgate, but it would be way easier than lifting a ski into the back or pushing it and safer than braping it in
