dolly for my seacraft
i just bought a new house and its great in every respect except for the driveway. i have a 6 foot fence on one side and a concrete screen porch on the other side, leaving about 2 inches of clearance on either side for my trailer to get into the back yard. once there boat sits on a gorgeous concrete pad w/ plenty of room, but it takes folding both mirrors in to get in, and about ten minutes stone sober. short of leaving boat in the driveway, i could move the fence 6 inches (maybe if prop. line allows) or build a new gate (to gain another 3 inches). neither idea is very good. i was wondering if there are any dollys beefy enough for me to drop the trailer outside the gate and maneuver it in by hand. boat is an 18 foot cc. anybody have any ideas or know of any products to accomplish this?

Re: dolly for my seacraft
Find yourself an old riding mower and remove the deck.
Fabricate a hitch out of old bed rail and bolt it to the back of the frame. With it being the end of mowing season there should be a ton of them on Craig's list. My old MTD with a 12.5HP Briggs moves boats and trailers with ease. They make a great all purpose tug. See ya, Ken

I have been exploring a electric trailer dolly for my 18. Narrow street makes backing into driveway more than difficult. A few days I Googled "electric trailer dolly" and found more information than I wanted.

bought a hand dolly from northern tool after speaking w/ a very knowledgable guy from one of the previous mentioned websites. its a flat driveway, straight back. little elbow grease never hurt anybody.
