Bad idea, Tom. I won't repost any of my horror stories about the cheap 
Ramseys, but don't go that way. You'll end with a smoker, hopefully not 
just when you need it the most. I don't want to just demean Ramsey, they 
build a winch as good as anybodys, but in my opinion, they also build  a 
line that is much worse than anybodys.
