We have several of them at our club and no one takes them apart. They all found old boat trailers and modified them with 4x4 post. Back the trailer in and float it onto the trailer and store it as a complete unit. This only works if you don't have to go far to store it but sure make it very easy to pull out and put back in.

I'm thinking after floating it over, I'll dunk my 20 foot car trailer and bring it on land, then start the disassembly. Could pull it up but don't want to damage the tank, but could also have some plywood to lay under as it goes. From what I'm seeing, the 10 and 12 K fiberglass tanks are 23 feet long, so should get away with flags on the ends for transport

Just sold mine on Saturday, my marina had a pontoon trailer they used to get it out. Then 1989Mach1 and his brother Don started to un bolt and the marina lifted everything on to their boat trailer with a tractor with forks on it.
An impact will make it quicker

We were done in 2 1/2 hours

That Ron and Don hope your ride home was good

That's some long tubes. You bring up a question, wonder how heavy 23 foot tubes are?

Use ratchet straps to tighten something like a boat cushion over the holes in the bottom. Without covering the holes, if the lift moves at all, it can begin to take on water, get lopsided, and then go over. Don't ask me how I know, but covering these holes is better than pulling one out of 15 feet of water!

Thanks, an ounce of prevention kind of thing, well worth the trouble for this newby mover.
