I am outfitting my Venture trailer with a "winch perch" for the fall haulout, and looking for a design I can build myself. Trailer presently does not have a bow winch and I have been using a tow winch from 3 ton tow truck with a 20' trailer extension (does not work well, as winch is too low) I have seen other 250's with this mod and not sure if it was purchased as a "third party" addition or from the trailer mfg. Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks

It isn't clear to me what you want to add to your Venture trailer. Maybe this thread will help:

Thanks Jim for your reply--I did look at previous posts and the "Road King" winch stand. I have a sailboat mechanic who need the work at this time, so I will have him fabricate a square tube post design similiar to the Road King design. I will post pics when complete.

Bob,
I have ordered a plain, without ladder, winch post from trailnsail.com. It should arrive next week. If you need some pictures or measurements email me at jbkayaker msn com (with the appropriate punctuation inserted). If I were designing a post I would add a brace or wire stay to take some of the load off of the connection to the trailer. For instance a cable with turnbuckle could be attached from a point a few feet up the post to a point on the trailer a few feet forward of the base of the post. I may do that with the one I have ordered.
