I dunno. Even if you bolted it someone to a concrete driveway, "winding"
a boat up the driveway on its trailer might pull it loose.



Did that thing say 500 dollars! Holy crap!...

Screw everybody. If I had a boat I couldn't move safely myself I would
probably spend the grand and get an electric mover... or:

1, Buy a cheap used rototiller and pull the blade off, have a friend
weld or bolt a ball on it...

2, Get a cheap automotive winch from harbor freight and mount it in the
garage or on a post or similar near where you need the boat to be...

With all due respect, after a long day on the water the last thing you
want to do is "walk" or push a heavy boat up the driveway...


It's not a heavy boat.


Heavy is relative... My boat is not heavy either but I can't pull it
around the yard myself...

"I can't" you say? I was certain you could if you really wanted to.
Maybe I was wrong.

Not the 16 footer, in grass, down in the backyard... I use our lawn
tractor or just go grab it with the jeep.
