I can..and do on occasion.

I just find it awkward.. hard to see where I'm backing to and of course depends on whether there are vehicles parked opposite my driveway.

It's a very narrow street and a very narrow driveway... 10 feet narrow.

You might find it helpful to put a few long stakes or bamboo poles in

a few strategic locations along the edge of the driveway so you can

see them in your mirrors.


I can always see one side in the mirrors... the vehicle ends up at such an angle to the trailer that the other side is a dead zone.
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.


Have you given any thought to storing your boat where everyone else in a
similar situation as yours store their boats, a storage facility?

The problem is with backing up over the curb. The curb by itself
presents a fair amount of resistance which makes it difficult to back
slowly and evenly. The planks act as a bit of a ramp to ease the
wheels up and over.

But John said he never has to go over the curb!

Go back and re-read, Kevin.

Once you learn how to do it, it'll be pretty quick.

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!
