Not a bad idea, but this thing is in a spot that won't permit much jacking
I'm afraid. Too soft. "Lift" isn't going to be a word that will fit into
this plan. The roller concept could be part of the answer. I'm most
concerned with how much power will be needed to drag the hull over the land
to water. If I had something to anchor a winch to, I could see it, but I
can't sink a 20 ft piling on the opposite side of the creek. This is just
for fun; a lark if you will. I need an another boat like a hole in the head.
But seeing a perfectly good boat sitting out of water just calls to me.
Perhaps it's just a Huck Finn adventure I'm looking for.
Thanks

I'd jack it up enough to get some logs, rollers, even some planks, the
wetter and slimier the better, under her, . With some long, strong 2 X 4s
you should be able to lever and skid her into the water. Use some plywood
between the lever and the boat to spread the load if you're concerned
about crushing anything.

Out goofing around yesterday, and found a 23' sailboat high and dry,
maybe 15yds from a navigable creek. I'm guessing it could be dragged over
the marsh and into the water, but even with a really high lunar tide,
it's going to take some force. There isn't anything across from it to
secure a winch, and the creek isn't deep enough to get a big boat in to
drag it off.

Any idea how I can do this?

Ironically I want to float it to another location and beach it there.
