An easier way?
 
I finally moved into my new house last weekend. The boat actually fits in the garage, the only problem is that it took three of us to push it in. I can't just back it in because it has to go on an angle to fit. It was a ***** to push sideways! Is it just my trailer or all tandem trailers like this. If so does anyone have any ideas how to make it easier. Thanks.

I Spray a mix of soap (Dawn) and water on the floor and tires to push it sideways. I also use my Tractor but I'm pushing a 38' boat so no way could 3 guys do this. May want to buy an old lawn tractor like a late 60's or early 70's that has the weight behind it to help out:cool:

Thanks! I never thought of lubrication. Lubrication makes everything better!:D

I have a 22 Donzi that won't fit straight in my garage, but the back twelve feet are walled off for a workshop, with insulated walls, and ceiling. I sawzalled a hole in the wall, then built a dogbox in the workshop to enclose the outdrive. It should work even if the dogbox is outside on the ground. I built it out of some left over starboard I had, and one peice of plywood. Looks like a freezer from the starboard side.

All you need is a powered trailer dolly:
