With the opposing inclines, and the curb to jump, that corner becomes probably 4-5 times harder in my opinion. The technique could be mastered but every time you hit it you would have to get a running start and slam your trailer tire over the curb. I would guess with my limo and truck driving experience I can probably back as good or better than anybody here and I would not want to do that trick every time I brought my boat home. Right now I have the opposite. A huge incline up to the edge of the road and when the trailer tires make that change it really changes the radius of the turn and ****s up the flow. To do that over a curb.. well anyway... I would spend the money and get a motorized dolly.. I mean, you don't go without lifejackets, oars, flares, motor, etc.. the tools you need to do your hobby. |

Ad to that.. as soon as I start, cars always come around the corner trying to get by. This adds to my feeling of needing to get the backing-up done quickly and efficiently. A responsible boat owner and neighbor (um... ) would just buy all of the stuff needed to own a boat there... That includes a motor, life jackets, a trailer with proper lighting, and a ****ing dolly if you are endangering your family and neighbors with your boat... read my other post. If you are gonna' do the sport, buy the gear, period. Anything less is irresponsible and selfish.. If you can't afford the gear, find another hobby... period.. That is what a responsible member of society does. What the 'ell?? This rant is just like the one last year when I debated pulling a 2000 lb load with a vehicle rated for only 1500 lbs. At least you haven't threatened to kill me yet if I injured one of your family...as you did last year. Maybe it would be better for society as a whole if I donated the 'electric dolly money' to a CT oral surgeon so you can have your jawbone re-broken and straightened out. You are one crazy MF! Don't cry donnie... |

The use of a couple 2x4s or 3x6s make a ramp for the curb. I would never try to 'hit' the curb with a running start. I always put my 'ramp' in place and let the trailer tires climb it up to the curb. Remember, my trailer weighs in over 5 tons, so I'm not going to go 'hitting' the curb. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

That little girlie friend of yours needs his jaw broken and re-set to escape his madness. He has no money , so maybe you can go visit him with your balsa wood toothpick and save him a lot of money. |
