Anchor Winch Suggestions

Post by Fahro » Tue Oct 24, 2017 4:05 pm

Looking at buying an anchor winch very soon.

My thoughts at the moment:

Lonestar GX1

Savwinch SS 880

Tuffwinch TW200HD

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I've read very good feedback on Lonsestars on this forum.

All feedback is appreciated.

Do you want it hidden under the bow or does it sit in the anchor well?

5.2 m fibreglass

All 3 of the models mentioned above will fit into the anchor well

I just purchased a Savwinch. Cannot complain about the service I received and the product seems good, however I have only used it a couple of times.

Check out this video that I since watched: https://youtu.be/t66J1uhBpMI

Shoot out between the top brands. Probably would have swayed my opinion in Lone Star's way.

There is approx $500.00 difference between the cheapest and most expensive. Tuffwinch bering the cheapest, Lonestar being the most expensive, Savwinch is pretty much in the middle.

Greatestgoat, i’ve watched that video as well. Pretty interesting

They claim to have something the other doesnt “only winch in the market”, “1st winch in the market” blah blah
