Guess I'll have to practice up until I get full strength back in my legs
so I can manhandle the rig again.

If your 14 foot boat is too big to handle in your neighborhood, then
store it somewhere else. It's not rocket science.

Actually it is harder to back up a short trailer vs. a long trailer. Takes
practice, but it long tow vehicle with a short trailer is a trial. My 14'
Valco and trailer was easier to back up with my S10 vs. the
Aerostar van. My problem with my trailer is it is 25' long, and with a
crew cab Chevy, I have a bout a 22' lane in front of my storage structure I
have back it in to. If the RV across from me is gone is fairly easy to get
it turned in to the 10' wide shed. Don, maybe back it up on the flat,
disconnect and then with the boat aimed properly, retook the tow vehicle
pointing correctly. Or get a front hitch.
