Here's some other shots. Note the boom facing forward in the one shot. If we don't do that, the front end lifts coming up the ramp with the heavier boats. The blob of steel on the back is an old counterweight from a dozer that we welded to the frame to give it a little more weight.

The truck in photo 3 and 4 is a stripped down M818 with a boom installed. We use it the most because there are a lot less hoops to jump through for day to day boom work, but it's nice to have the 816's around for heavy work and pulling the 40,000 pound boats.

Our money is spent keeping them running safely, not upgrading tires that still have years of life on them. Don't get me wrong we try to keep them nice, but 30 new tires is out of out of our budget.

I really like that! Mine are "workers" or I'd consider it.
