...to lift that tongue of that trailer by hand with the boat on it and put
it on the hitch ball? No, I don't mean youse guys with the small boats.

I think the last time I was able to do this was in the late 1950s, with my
15' Wolverine and 25 or 33 hp Big Twin.


I could just do that with my Sandpiper 565 weekend cruiser sailboat. After
I bought the new trailer and the weight went just north of 2300 lbs with a
190 tongue weight, i'd only lif/juggle it the last few inches if I had
trouble lining up.
What a treat dealing with the Yukon with a total combo weight of less than
800 lbs.




There's always a smart ass around... :}
