  • hauling boat/loading a boat



    I wanted to hook and go (towing it) but the restorer said he didnt want road tar to get up on the hull of the boat thus wants it trailered on its trailer.

      First, make sure the boat is secured to the trailer. Lift the front of the boat trailer just enough to back the flat bed under it. Back up just enough to get the ramps up against the boat trailer wheels and secured to the flatbed. Then tie onto boat trailer and winch it the rest of the way onto the flatbed...

        Go to a marina and ask them to heavy lift it onto your trailer. They have those huge roll around lifts that can pick the boat and trailer up with no problems. Or find a large heavy duty fork lift!!

          And after she gets you a beer, you can use a winch and a dolly to roll the tongue up on the trailer then secure like any other load.

                  I wouldn't haul a boat based on experience .

                  The customer at the destination will blame you for every nick and scratch and bald tires and tell you it was full of gas when it left ,etc.etc.

                  been down that road too many times with people and personal items

                      F that. It sounds dangerous to begin with. Not to mention, how do you plan to get it back off?

                      Have the hull protected with vinyl wrap if he's gonna be that anal about it.

                        Should you really be hauling shit cross country when you don't know how to load/unload it?

                          Forklift through the side and then winch the trailer onto the flatbed. Then call your wench.

                            Is this a load that no one else wants? I'd think about that. What happened with the FEMA gig?

                              Forklift with extended forks, tie off to the trailer.
