Needs guidance on how to set up a system to get a raft into a bed of a pickup truck. I have a 10.5 ft raft which fits the bed but getting a raft and frame onto the the bed is PIA by myself. Can't do raft trailer for I tow a travel trailer.

That ain't gonna work. Like the last take out on my last trip (Lyons Gulch, Colorado River). No ramp, steep drop to river with 1.5 drop at bank into river. It was a huge bitch to load it. Threw out my back. Hence this thread. Not doing that again. Got to be Easy/Peasy.

I can push my 10.5' raft into the truck bed with the frame on it no problem. I am surprised you are having an issue.



during salmon fishing season, I keep it blown up all fall and winter and roll it in and out of garage on a couple harbor freight furniture dollies, pick up the bow and set it on the tailgate, then pick up the back and shove it in.
