Save your boat & your back

[CrappieTexan]

I made this out of scrap lumber in no time. It is about 26"x26" with scrap carpet on both sides. The carpet on top keeps the beams from sliding around on the way to your location & the carpet on the bottom protects your boat. The concrete beam weighs 55# and I use 2 of them to sink christmas trees 6' and taller. When you get to your location you kick out the tree, pull up on the rope and the beams slide over board. Saves scratching up your boat and saves your back......
Good fishing to all...........

Good Ideal.
Does it also go in the water? Then have to pull it back it? Or do you have it fixed where it can't go over?

The platform never goes in the water... when you pull up on the rope the concrete slides off into the water....
At the dock when I load the tree I put the concrete block as shown in the photo.....
When I get to the location I move the concrete close to the edge of the platform and a slight tilt and away it goes.... really comes in handy when I use 2 blocks (110#) to sink a tree 6' tall or taller.....
Good fishing.........
