The wider the surface, the more surface area for grip and vice versa.


But the wider the surface the less weight is on each square inch...so my
understanding
is the overall friction is the same. But I'm not sure.



If you have four lifting points, why not use tow straps and use the
winch to pull the boat forward until it's sound against the bow stop?

Nope, just two lifting points. Pulling from the stern one is not practicle
cause the windsheld is between. We can pull a bit on the bow lifting
ring, but it's really made for...uh...lifting. I don't think it should be
pulled
with more than a few hundred pounds pressure.



Or get a crane for a tow vehicle. :)


Hmmmmmm..........

Thanks for the ideas, Tom.
