Now that we have the Toterhome (we call it a Boaterhome... ) we are using it nearly every weekend. Even though we have a totally trick, street legal golf cart (Thanks Nubbs!) we are looking to do even more with our support vehicle.
Like for example... launch and recover the boat with the thing. Obviously, the golf cart isn't going to do the trick, but we see people launching with Rhinos and Rangers a lot. Mostly 21' boats and under though.
Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the 10 lane at Pleasant or the bigger ramps around the area, but I am talking about the ones at the river at Windsor, Parker and Martinez.
See, thing is that the Boaterhome is nearly 65' long with the boat on the back. Total bitch to back into tight launch ramps. Additionally, you need to break down your house to put it in in the morning. Which means that 6 hungover people get to wake up at 6:00 with you to go beat the crowds with the launch... people get very, very pissed about the jocko-bozo drill on the ramp with one guy in the cart guiding you by radio and a blind back-up etc... So, we do it early.
Long story short, I am looking preferably at a Rhino. They look the coolest and will easily fit in the boho. Plus, obviously the parts are available. I have no problem putting some money into the engine if torque can be added and is needed to pull it out of the water. I am also looking at the John Deere "Gator" with a diesel engine, the Polaris Ranger and others.
There is also a "hauler" version of the Rhino available in the catalog. Anyone know if this has lower gears or more power or something?
I don't go duning, I will lightly off-road the thing. Mostly, we are going out to dinner in it, getting ice and going to an from launch ramps.
Any ideas?
