Hi Rob; the only winch we have with a strap that can handle your 9,000 lb boat is going to be the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215. None of our manual winches with a hand crank will be able to handle that boat so electric would be the only option.

This electric winch shows 3000lbs. Is there a rule of thumb at 30% of the boat weight for the winch and strap?
