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,


mow and push it back).






Talking to Tim this morning.. He suggested one of these:

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

outlet. Hook the other end where ever you want to go...


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.


Did you ever answer why you don't back it in with the truck. Another
option if you are not comfortable backing is a couple hundred bucks and
put a hitch on the front of your truck... Some say it's easier to drive
trailers around, could work...
