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

jack up the back of the boat and put it on the normal low hitch on the truck... you DON'T want the back of the boat dragging the ground

Do it the redneck way.

Tow strap yer trailer to a big ol' tree and anutherin between the truck hitch and bow eye of your boat. Pull boat forward. Just in case the rear cross member of your trailer doesn't break free, be sure to duck down to avoid getting decapitated when the bow eye pulls loose and slingshots through the back glass of your F-150. Would be better to do it with a tow strap all the way around the stern of the boat.

Ask me how I know.
