I thinking of ditching my topping lift for a Boomkicker (http://boomkicker.com/). Has anyone had experience with this unit on a Ballad, and if so which model did you choose?
Thanks.

Re: Boomkicker
Hello,
As your question is over a year old, I suppose you have your boomkicker already mounted. My question is how you did it. I bought a used Swedish boom kicker at a good price. I kindly ask you to share your van fitting. I have some problems with this piece of metal. As my mast is the original profile from 1972, its shape is less square than modern ones. Kind of difficult to find a ready-made fitting to mount a boom or vang. My boom fitting crashed last season, so I have two of them to fabricate.
Kind regards.
Andy
