Default Moving a boat Sideways

Bill,

Assuming a smooth floor it is very easy to do. This solution is a little
messy but I've used it many time to move large military trailer mounted
shops sideways to fit into tight spots..

Stop a few inches from the rearward destination. Spread some grease (GAA)
on the floor behind the tires. Back the tires onto the grease. Unhitch
making sure the dolly wheel is pointing in the proper direction for
sideways travel. Push the boat/trailer sideways as required. Clean up
the residue and chock the wheels.

Not very elegant but it's easy and the cost is just about nada.

Quite a messy proposition, especially for a new house with a new driveway.
After just a short while the whole drive would end up with grease marks from
the tires.
