I'd be shocked if they didn't.

So, those metal detectors, they actually work?
Give me a price range and I'll give you suggestions.

$500? Could I get a good one for that? Or is that not enough?

Is the Harbor Freight one not good enough for him?

Lol. Sure, but he said he had a higher budget, so why not get a higher quality winch? With synthetic line already, to boot.

Well I'm sure he would be more likely to love the price tag of the HF winch rated at 12000lbs no?

That's why I asked for a price range. If he was only interested in spending $300, then I would have told him that one. There are more things to consider beyond just pulling capacity. 10,500 will be plenty for his vehicle. I'm only running 9,500 on mine.
That one has synthetic line, which means it weighs less, plus it's waterproof, and has a better line speed. Also, synthetic line floats on water and doesn't kink. Plus, a wireless remote.
Feel free to make your own suggestions, of course.

Great, now you've got me questioning if I should purchase the HF.

Ok so I'm back on the hunt for a better, yet in-expensive winch (vs the HF version).
I found this one...
Comes with a 3000lb ATV winch free (promotion) - could probably re-sell it for $75.00 lol
Any thoughts on this one?

I'm an impulse buyer I don't second guess anything lol. I like that winch. I just don't like the blue line lol

I think you need the manual crank boat winch.

Klare, do you have any reviews you can post showing the pro's and con's of this manual boat winch vs what has been posted on this thread for comparison since you endorse it?

That's apparently the best part according to Triple E, the synthetic line.
