I have been able to winch mine to the post w/the tail-end of the trailer backed up a steep hill...then you got some gravity workin' for you...carry buckets if you have to and wet the bunks too...w/my V20, going down hill, slamb on the brakes has moved it to the winch, too...even if you can't get it all the way to the bow roller like this, any movement forward will help...have a camera ready...this could get interesting and you know how we like pictures around here...

I am confused?? Is the boat up against the stop and 3 feet off the trailer or is it 3 feet from the post??
If off the trailer you will need to cut the post and re weld it in the right place, if the boat is 3 feet away from the post then just crank it on the trailer some more

getting pics now, give me 5 min and I will post. Keep in mind this is a 26 foot cruiser, not huge but to big to winch on unless I upgrade my winch. I did check and it will cost me about $1500. Give me 5 and I will posy a few pics....

I would drive it there slowly. I can get my V-20 and I could get the 23' Whaler to move by slamming the brakes also..

Rof...is there supposed to be another amber-colored rubber stop on bottom of the arm that has one in the picture?...and that arm swings up to catch the bow in two places w/those stops?...do you have working trailer brakes to help stop it...you don't need to be going fast, but down a steep hill really helps...Ridge is kiddin'...he ain't got no hills in FL...wet the bunks and get the winch cable TIGHT so it is assisting forward movement...

I agree w/Blue Runner...your larger boat may not respond to all this, but it worth a try...

I though I was the only one who had done this so I didn't want to suggest it.
