Yes, but should I be broadcasting this?
We were given a boat with a long neglected outboard that we thought we
could revive (and did.)
But that left a boat on a trailer.

What could be done with it?
I had seen some neglected hulls on an open country lot,
so we drove there, and backed up to a convenient, and sturdy tree.

We tethered the boat at the transom to the tree with strap or chain,
took off the hold down straps and winch strap, and drove slowly
forward, while the trailer parted company with the hull.

And as nobody noticed, or cared, we drove away, rejoicing....

p.s. Loading is less convenient, and I think twice before undertaking
such chores. Rollers, A winch or come-along, A swing down tralier
(preferably). Plenty of patience. Count number of fingers, before
and after.
