i'm planing to purchase this urban rider winch,any one know it? or tested it?<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/445995.jpg" alt="Upload">9 australy HP

help chosen winch?????

Never seen an urban rider winch but looks just like all the others.

Australian made. I used it and its well built with plenty of power. Cant compare though as its the only one ive used

how much hp does it have?

it has 9 hp.... i've used them a bunch while out here in australia. they're really awesome. i find they work better than the grinch ones... like i've never had a problem with it not getting up to speed. i'd definitely reccomend buying one!

how do they go deep water starting?

actually.... i saw it deep water start a kid when we did a rail jam at an indoor swimming pool... and it worked. I don't recall having ever seen any of the ones from the states do that... at least not efficiently. it took him about 10 feet of space to get up, and then there was a bit of a tug as soon as he did get up, but he was able to ride it out and did it quite a few times. i was sure it was going to break, since i've never seen a winch deep water start someone before and actually get them up to speed, so i was really impressed.

how much do these go for?

3800$

Buy a Pimp Winch: just changed the name to Release Winch Systems... They are better than anything else out there. The winch is more powerful, looks better, and features a disengaging spool. No other winch comes close. There are a few different winch models. I have pics of 2 fully built, and 1 of just the frame: <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/450544.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/450545.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/450546.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Ken Land <BR>Bullet Lines <BR>Release Winching Systems <BR><a href="http://www.bulletlines.com" target="_blank">www.bulletlines.com</a> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeboarding-winch.com" target="_blank">www.wakeboarding-winch.com</a>

what do you hook that up to too prevent it from moving for examlpe a trailer hitch but that frame doesnt have a hook up

so, where would you go about buying this winch?

Kevin, <BR> <BR>The top and bottom winch picture have welded hitch mounts (just not in the bottom picture). The middle picture has a detachable hitch mount. <BR> <BR>A Johnson, <BR> <BR>You can order a winch on our website <a href="http://www.bulletlines.com" target="_blank">www.bulletlines.com</a>.
