I have a problem

[smokeonthewater]

I can tell ya that with my 28' cruiser, 4 electric trailer brakes and huge killer 4 wheel disc on my dually, half a dozen panic stops with the winch cable TIGHT won't move it 2" forward...

You either need to jack it up like with a floor jack and a block of wood under the keel about 2/5 from rear to front.... doesn't need to leave the trailer, just make it lighter or take it to the ramp.... I'd suggest no more than 20 mph MAX though as when it does go bad, it happens fast... better safe than sorry

I gave it a try and no go. I was able to put a hitch on the truck that is at the same height, almost. My truck is a F150 4X4 with a towing kit and sits quit high and has big breaks. I am going out tomorrow for a little cruse. I think If I am careful pulling the boat I will be OK. Even if the boat comes off the hitch the breaks will stop it and I can deal with it, maybe. LOL, thanks for the advice and I will keep you posted. By the BY, my restoration or work in progress is coming along. I just spent the weekend redoing all the teak, looks great.
