Magnum or KlemmGem?

I think the water is very thin around those islands. My first thought was to do just that, lash it all together and drag the mess into the water. My concern is its not very deep and is very mucky. If the trailer gear gets plowed up in the mud you could get into trouble quick.
its all little islands out there, pretty cool actually. Many of them are boat access only or have make shift bridges if they are close enough. Some have very nice houses on them. He said there are about nine boats but the Mag is the only one of interest apart from a small Baja.

Why not just pull it out of the weeds and wait until winter to skid it across?

I don't think leaving the hull on the trailer & floating it would work with the depth of the water of those back canals, dragging the hull only into the water would be the best way in my opinion. Walkers landing has a ramp that a Magnum could be pulled out from & is just south of where the boat is located... We had heard rumors about the past owner of the island & why all the boats were there, but all just talk...

I was thinking drag the boat off trailer and then into the water (not like your gonna hurt it lol) then strap drums to the trailer and drag that into the water. I have a car wash place by me that gives away 16 gallon drums that soap comes in i wound think five or six would be plenty. You could drag both to ramp pull trailer and remove drums then pull boat with trailer. If you look close the trailer looks like a decent home built. I've got piles of new tires and rims
Would love to hear whatever stories there are that surround this island of misfit boats . . . .
