Northern Wench
RRP: £999 (limited numbers at this price)

What They Say: It’s got an 11hp engine which can provide speeds of close to 30mph, a torque converter to provide super easy and mellow starts, there is the possibility of having custom colour ways, you can pick your basic design or even mix up the colours. The price of £999 does not include the rope and is a special introduction offer, which is only relevant for the first 5 made. After this an increase might occur. So get yours ordered rapidly.

What We Say: Winching is fun, its relatively cheap, 4 friends, that’s £250 each for hours of fun all summer. You can fill up the tank, which costs about £10 and it will last for hours! You can winch in big puddles, flooded fields, canals, legally on Lake Windermere, illegally on the Inland Waterways (our personal favourite), in streams, ponds and basically anywhere with water. You can wakeskate or find drops to wakeboard off. There is an unlimited amount of wakeskate tricks that you can learn using a winch! Bringing in a winch from the USA is currently out of the price range due to the dollar rate so the Monkey Wench is the about the only option for winch ownership in the UK. It so happens that the Monkey Wench is also about 6 billion times better than its American baby sisters!
