Good plan.
Hey the on topic plan lasted almost 4 days. It is a start.
To Donnie, have you looked at these?

You might be able to make one with a bit of ingenuity and the right
kind of motor. I think that if I was just using it next to the house
I would use an extension cord and an AC gear head motor.
Those things are a couple grand. I would do what you said, or like Tim
said, hook a winch to the trailer, and run it off the boat battery.
I'll rule that model out.
Smallest starts at $1025 and by the time I got it here with taxes, shipping, brokerage & duty... probably close to $2K
Besides.. it doesn't use the trailers coupler... site says you somehow insert the tongue jack on top of the dolly.
??? My tongue jack has a big 8" wheel.
Here's a plan for a motorized trailer dolly that runs about $200. I've
seen used commercial dollies from time to time for $300-$400, usually at
boatyards and marinas.
