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

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... |

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

Solution for pulling boat in driveway?
Actually, the only real tricky time is first time out in the spring, as I winter the boat up on blocks way back in front of my shed. It narrows up down there thanks to a fence and a stairway to my rear deck....giving a 'thread the needle' effect.
Sure wouldn't want to scratch the Highlander. |
