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. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Dave" wrote in message ...

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. |
