Using an electric golf cart motor for a winch

would this work?

i've ridden behind an electric golf cart in puddles before....

the only problem i see is having 4 batterys to situate.

i guess i dont really see deep water starts working that well either, but maybe if you do some intense gearing?

what do you guys think?

probably something more like an electric well pump would work better.

pros
made for moist conditions
high rpm
pretty small/ light

cons
they run on 110/220v... maybe get some type of power inverter or just a plug in?
probably not enough torque... custom TAV2 fabrication?
more hippies would probably start wakeskating because its more "green"

They are pretty expensive, very heavy, and need a high voltage

seems like it would be impractical

I wonder what engine they use for this thing? Its electric.

Sesitec System 2.0 Portable Cable park. Its freakin dope! I would guess that one can be made for less than $30K...someone get on it!
