I was pleased to find one installed on my boat when I bought it. I don't foresee myself owning a boat without one anytime soon. I still have memory of hauling the anchor on my Dad's boat. His still does not have one.I didn't have a windlass on my last boat. My buddy called me freakishly strong as I muscled the ground tackle aboard after each dive.
This summer, we took my boat down to the Keys. A friend rented a boat down there. When we were pulling anchor, my daughter sat up front and operated the switches to pull the anchor while I was at the helm. We chuckled a bit as my friend's twin boys (same age as my daughter) were manually pulling the anchor.
Give it time. Tesla is releasing a "truck." That truck must be needed to haul a Tesla boat. Both will probably come with "Summon."Good point. I knew there must be a reason such a simple solution hadn't been created.
