That's a LH3000, there are a few tricks to using it, paid $150 online for it. Well worth the money.
We have horses and buy sawdust regularly. We are lucky to have a sawdust reseller within 15miles that sells 1 yard for $14, a lot cheaper than buying bagged sawdust. In any case unloading 3 or 4 cubic yards of sawdust by hand is not fun. This thing makes unloading the truck a 30 second operation. Loading makes all the difference, with a big load like sawdust it doesn't matter because it fills the bed, but with gravel the more you get onto the tarp the less you have to do by hand later. We have used it to move gravel, sawdust, mulch, manure, wood for bonfire. It is very hefty.
My dad wants to make a bed insert out of plywood that is V shaped similar to the bottom of a dumper dog bed insert so that the wheel wells don't catch the extra material. Would say that a plastic bed liner is better than a stock bed. I would guess that a rhino lined bed wouldn't work well.
Also don't let the crank arm hit you in the leg.

Thanks. Its an 18ft Sea Hunt Triton.
Ended up breaking the prop shaft about 20 minutes after putting it in the water. Had to get towed back to the ramp. Luckily I was able to get another boat and salvage the weekend.

Its hard to explain, part of the science behind how the load handler works is that the tarp itself is stretchy. So that when you first start moving the load it happens in a wave from back to front. The amount of mechanical advantage you get from the handle is surprising. I think that the tarp would rip before you found a load that was too big to move.
