Thanks. We did something similar with one of our boats.
I'm sure a million other people have done this, but I thought it was neat.
We needed to get a boat on a trailer into the water, but the ramp and truck
were not a good match... water got very deep and I was concerned about
getting my picture in the paper with the Jeep floating behind me. :-) So, I
put the trailer as far down the ramp as I could without the wheels of it
getting wet, then blocked the wheels on the trailer, then disconnected the
hitch to the Jeep. I used a heavy line from the Jeep hitch to the trailer,
pulled forward to get the trailer off the wheel blocks, then backed it into
the water until the boat was floating.

Make the stands the same height as the trailer so they barely fit under
the
boat. Remove most of the air from the trailer tires, then drive away. When
you want to reverse the process, put the trailer back under the stands,
then
fill the tires until you start to relieve the pressure on the stands.
Very creative solution, Jon.
