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. That's what he was originally inquiring about. It seems like overkill to me. John had a good solution using wheel chocks to crab it along up a slight incline. I still don't understand why he won't use his car to back the boat in. |

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. I didn't realize there was a formal on topic plan. I thought the plan was to cut back on the snarliness and insults of other posters. ------------------------------------------------ That's what I am hoping for. I don't mind some off-topic discussions but I am tired of weeding through post after post after post of "I know you are, but what am I?" crap. I'll just send those that insist on engaging in that to the growing Bozo Bin. I think you are being a little too subtle with YKW. ;-) |

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. |

I was just thinking that.
In the marinas and yacht clubs, they seem to use some kind of tractor. In one case I saw a ball attached to one of a forklifts forks. |
