Solution for pulling boat in driveway?
 
This thing would be eco friendly and should last a lifetime.

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...

Are you serious? This would be good for pulling the boat up your driveway, but can't you use the
Highlander for that?

Uh, if you look at the gear ratio of that thing, it would take three
days to pull a boat up a driveway!

I move my boat around with the golf cart


Have you considered an outboard motor? :)

I guess I just don't understand the problem he's got. The picture of his house with a boat shows the
boat backed into the driveway. The Highlander will easily do that. Backing a boat with a Highlander
is a snap compared to doing so with a crew-cab Silverado. That Highlander will turn on a dime -
well, maybe a nickel.

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...
