I am building a new house, and have made provisions for my 23' chap.
However, the beam length is to wide. I will need to move the boat side
ways. I have seen a device that is used for cars to move them around,
called skates. Is there such an animal for trailers? Is there a rolling
plate available? Many thanks.


Are you looking for these?

He'd need a very heavy duty vesion of those.... probably only has two
wheels to share load..(except for a fraction of the weight on the tongue
jack)


The OP didn't mention if the storage spot is outside or inside. But his
post got me to thinking. Since he is building a new house, he could create
a shallow, rectangular pit that's about 6 feet by 8 or 10 feet and pour
concrete about halfway up the depth. Install a couple of 1.5" stainless
steel rods across the long length with captured shaft bearings on each.
Attach the shaft bearings to a hunk of 1/2 inch aluminum plate.

Back the trailer wheels onto the plate, then push the whole thing sideways
to the storage position.

I think I'll apply for a patent.
