Gin Pole

[hammer slammer]

What you want is a tuna chute. Somebody used to make them i belive on the cape but any how it hasa bracket mounted on the gunnel that a 4'metal u shaped shute sits in and you winch them up over the gunnel until it slides in the boat. A gin pole is a bad idea in my mind becouse the center of gravity is to high? I have pulled 800 pounders over the rail using a gin pole on a fortier but it SUCKS.That boat has 2' more of beam and 3000lbs more and i am nervous doing it.
