I move my boat around with the golf cart




That'll work! I move my around the back with my lawn tractor.




That is how I mow under the boat (pull it out with the lawn tractor,

mounted to the front of the trailer. Run a cable to your boat battery or

Saw something a bit bizarre at Princess Auto yesterday and had to ask the clerk how it worked.
Seems it's a combination tongue jack and dolly.
Has two small 8"?? wheels with a chain wrapped around a sprocket on the axle and leading back to a crank handle.
You can use it to raise & lower or to crawl along.
I'm sure you'd be tired cranking the handle before you got two far.
