I just found the solution for transporting my boat! Give this man a salute!
I am older and have a big heavy canoe. No way I could get it on my van by myself. That is a neat solution. 😊
Just need to hinge those supports so they fold along side the roof rack, and you’ll be one step less…..
The kids playing, families enjoying the day. All seemingly unaware they're in the presence of one of the greatest minds of our time.
underrated comment
@@hugodingwall2842very
That might be overstating it a bit...
Pure genius
Oh please. 🙄😂🙄
Now thats a solution.
I don't even own a boat but I watched this because I knew this man built something clever.
I was showing this video to my friends and telling them that man was my dad! When my real dad found out he was pissed. But then he saw the video and suddenly this guy became my grandfather.
*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
Wow, you both have found your relative. I'm so glad!
Very good.
Hell I would have told you to call him your uncle AND I had taught him how to make that rig !!! 😜😎
Hi, I'm your long lost cousin.
This man is genius and he deserves to know all of our secret fishing spots too.
Settle down, mate.
Thanks for the comment guy in the video
No doubt that some company saw this and is now mass producing it. Claiming it as their own.
Well done! 👏👏
Actually about 5 years ago I sent this video to Thule - a leading ski-box producer from Sweden. They never replied and never produced.
@@ISkalkin try with VW! 😀
A large manu would ask the consumer for hundreds more than this can be made out of timber and hardware. It probably did not pass their insurance lawyers review, maybe nixxed as someone would eventually drop this on themselves or scratch their precious automobile? 😃
The key is the simplicity. Brilliant!
@@jeffhouseman1120 I was thinking of a couple of rollers somewhere and a winch or levers but... nope, simplicity here is key.
Dear Mr. Skalkin.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What an ingenious and inexpensive solution. Kudos.
Thanks a lot for making showing recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Men with time and tools. A man of my own heart. And now my daughter is learning. 🎉
Men with tools are so much better than men with guns.
That's this weekend's project sorted. As the years roll by, my SOT fishing kayak is getting a bit heavy for me now. Not any more. Thanks for a brilliant idea.
Now that's one smart and efficient setup. I've managed to get a fibreglass canoe on and off a car roof myself, but not with the same ease as here.
Folks with a bit of imagination and smarts come up with ingenious stuff to accomplish tasks - especially when they know no one will be around to lend them a hand. I've got all kinds of "helps" for my boat to aid with launching & landing. Little gizmos that make the job easier. Around the home, too. The example in this video is very elegant.
The simplicity and versatility of this is awesome!
Absolutely. As human beings we tend to complicate things. I do my best to live by the acronym;
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid
Backing a boat trailer is a lot easier.
That's pretty slick. Using mechanical advantage to raise the boat up to the level of the roof.
This went 1,000 times better than I expected it to go. Bravo, very clever
I made one exactly like this to load my 14ft aluminum boat solo. Works great, thanks!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see a photo of yours
Out of this world! I loved it!
Thank you and greetings from Portugal!
Glad you enjoyed it! Sending love to Portugal.
I didn’t see that one coming. Genius
Nice! Simple, elegant engineering.
Bravo! What a great idea! The wheels are fabulous too!
jajajja, I copied the method for my sunfish (120#) and ended up with my back destroyed. I tried loading it up from both, the side and the back of my small station wagon car, from the back it was indeed much easier and manageable (I found an alternative video in YT, the idea was similar but different steps). After a year and a half loading and unloading I quit and ended up buying a aluminum trailer. People around me just stopped and checked what maneuvers I did to load/unload my boat on/from my roof's car... I do not regret but having passed 50 I am not anymore in such venue. This video was the first one I followed and did not work for the weight and size of my boat, however I am appreciated to the author and it was a great experience.
Yeah I thought about my spine during his lift and opted out.
This has been posted for 9 years and it's just now making it on my feed?! That's a pretty awesome setup, now I'm going to try it. And to think, I've been picking it up trying not to cause any damage to the boat or roof
Did it work?
Genius. THIS is what i love about TH-cam
Nicely done. Simplicity wins again.
Just figured out how I'll be getting my boat on a roof rack now, thanks!!
Now we know how they built the pyramids of Giza...well done.
Warning: If you want to try the same thing with a canal barge. Make sure you empty the cupboards and fuel tank first!
I forgot, and there were broken plates and diesel EVERYWHERE!! 👍🇬🇧
Would it be worthwhile to have those slide rails-slide into storage on the roof? (rather than removing)
Such a great design. I've shared the vid on a kayak fishing forum. A few more views may come your way and a few more folk may use this method. Well done for creating and sharing.
Ingenious. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the ingenuity and simplicity!
So incredibly useful, elegant and ingenious.
This bloke just inadvertently sorted out the mounting issue of the rooftop tent.
there's an older video posted 15 years ago, same concept but this one is a lot simpler
look up - boat climbs to top by single hand
Thanx for the upload
Hell yeah!!! Hat tip to you, Sir. A real man of genius.
Intelligent design. Thank you for recording and posting.
I would have loaded it from the back and struggled like crazy, this looks far to easy, kudos to that man😊.
THAT IS AN AMAZING DESIGN!
What is the weight of this boat?
beautiful! simple yet effective
How does he prevent the wind from blowing the boat off the roof of the car? What keeps the boat from scratching the car?
Ofcourse he'll strap it down.
Bloody genius that man is.
Love the passat too
You sir, are a master!! Love this! My canoe is too small to worry about doing this but if I buy a larger boat, I will be thinking of this.
Superb absolute simplicity. ❤💯👏
Simple and smart 👍👍👍
Love these kinds of innovations.
Parker craft boats sold a roof rack to do the same, years ago..
Draw back, salt water dripping onto car, stones , grit, onto windshield, and possible damage..
Having said that, not everyone wants a trailer and the cost of, just to sometimes use a small, light boat..
I used a 14 foot Alloy for sea fishing, great boat, only draw back if caught by wind.
We launched off shingle
Beach into surf often 1 - 2 mtrs, 3 cray pots, plus a set nett..
Those days long gone.
I buy my fish, can get the type I want, and stay dry.. Not as much fun , But..
Cheers from NEW ZEALAND..
Go well there..
Tight lines for all.
You sir, are a practical genius.
Didn't know what to expect. Wasn't disappointed.
Good for you, mate.
Good idea. I'm going to buy a couple 2x4s and make one for my boat I just bought. I only got the boat on my roof without this because my boat is super light. The boat bounces around too much on the roof because it doesn't fit the rack right and I can't get it tight enough so the boards will correct that.
So simple and so useful! Great idea!
Can't think of anything better. Thanks.
A very straightforward, elegantly simple, and low-cost solution to a problem. If Thule or Yakima racks see this video they can make an over-priced product and a fortune out of this fellow's brilliance.
That a good idea.. Thank you
Very ingenious. Love it!
The Soundtrack was beautiful und angular 📐
Does this also help work on the B4 Passat?
Vw swears it is a completely different car but I would like to try it on mine!
Absolutely brilliant!
Wow ! What a fantastic idea
Absolutely amazing.
Very creative and simple. I love it good job
Brilliant and simple
WoW! Engineering!!! Very smart man!
Brilliant solution.
I salute your work, sir!
Many many thanks
Amazing ingenuity! Congratulations!
Pretty clever!
Hey, super nice action. One up from my roof rack antics
It is so simple and clever!
Bravo! A kindred spirit.
Love the background music!
Thanks! I made it myself ;)
@@ISkalkinI NEED THIS MUSIC! It's sick, yo.
Where can I find it?
어르신 정말 아이디어가 대단하십니다.
간단한 구조 이면서 편하게 하셨네요.
제가 본 카탑중에 최고 입니다.
보트 구입하면 저는 pvc파이프로 도전해 볼 예정입니다.
영감을 주셔서 고맙습니다.
건강 하세요.^^
잘 보고 갑니다.^^
Please explain>
@@ISkalkin It's Korean, Google Translate made this out of it:
"Je hebt echt geweldige ideeën.
Het is een eenvoudige structuur, maar je hebt het comfortabel gedaan.
Het is het beste autodak dat ik ooit heb gezien.
Als ik een boot koop, ben ik van plan PVC-buis te proberen.
Bedankt voor de inspiratie.
Blijf gezond.^^
Ik zal eens goed kijken.^^"
Nice and simple invention. Excellent.
Hey. Thanks. My kids can help me make one and I can definitely do more with my life.
Go for it!
Thank you Igor.so simple only a wizard could do it. 😊
This man is a god damn genius. Or he's a man who has suffered the pain of hundreds of failed attempts. Regardless. RESPECT.
Hundreds of failed attempts, or hundreds of successful lessons? 😊
@GarrisonFall yup his glass was always half full
love the ingenuity, I am always doing projects like this. He must move the boat a lot.
I think he even sleeps with this boat.
As The Drifters would say, “On the roof, the only place I know. Where you just have to wish to make it so.”
A totally clever person!
As a human with a tendency towards tool use, I approve of this multi-lever contraption.
I literally was going to post my aluminum boat for sale after this weekend because I don't have a way to haul it without help! This is my solution. Thanks 👍🏼
Really?! Thanks for sharing!
@@ISkalkin Thanks for posting! My boat has been in the family for 25 years but it just sits there because I don't have a trailer. I'm seriously so excited to try this out 😁 Have a great day!
Absolutely love it.
After thinking through how I could set this up I realised that day would end with me stuck under the boat with a broken limb scrabbling to reach my phone for 911 😂
That is similar in principal to a gal slide on boat rack system that my Dad put on the family car in the 60s to transport a runabout, then later, a sailing dinghy. I inherited the rack & used it on my early cars for other small boats & canoes. It was a good system that even as kids, we were able to get our junior dinghy on the car while Mum & Dad dealt with the trailer dinghy. I still have the rack but it only mounts on the old cars with gutters, so I can't use it anymore unfortunately.
I like your style!
Clever man. 👏👏👏👏
Like a boss! Love it!
Wow, this is a very clever solution.
Really?
That's one way of doing it.👍👍
That’s some good rigging!
I remember laughing at the "big hat" when my dad used to pick the boat up and carry it back to the car on his head
I always sensed that Jimmy Greaves might be part Egyptian...
Why out of 200K views does this only have 3.5K likes? This man is brilliant!
It's because you cannot give many likes to the same video, I guess.
think this will work with a 20foot fiberglass fishing boat??
Try it and let us know.
Awesome to load, just wondering how easy it will be to unload???
Easy! Trust me.
Simple. Genius
Nice! How much does your boat weigh?
I have no idea.
What are the ropes tied to on the other side?
That's a good question. I need to find out.
BRILLIANT!!
great idea
Well done, that man. Well done.👍
