Moving boat
Posted by Redfin on 1/20/14 at 6:54 pm00
Have any of y'all ever had to move a boat around a warehouse, garage or tight storage area where a vehicle would not fit? If so, would you recommend a 4wheeler or dollies? Boat trailer is tandem axle, and with boat and trailer weighs approximately 4000 lbs.

If you own a warehouse, I would assume you'd have some sort of forklift. If you are renting space, the same would apply. If you are
mooching space, then ask a friend.

You could say mooching space as long as I take the owner fishing occasionally.
The issue has occurred because we are trying to fit 2 more bay boats into the warehouse. The warehouse entrance is not large enough to turn a vehicle and trailer. The trailer would have to be connected to something with a shorter wheelbase. Just didn't know if a 4wheeler would have enough capacity. Was trying to get something dual purpose over a forklift.

Once you get a boat/trailer moving on a smooth surface it rolls pretty easy. I think a 4 wheeler would work well. I've also seen something on Iboats or somewhere that's supposed to make it a one man job, good luck.

I'm going to try and find a 4wheeler this week. I'll let yall know how it works.
I have one of those in a box never used my dad gave me. Tried one before on my boat and didn't do any good. Four wheeler not much help either. Problem with my boat is the jack is fixed and only cranks up a certain height and that's as low as you can drop the trailer tongue. Probably be easiest to use a couple if guys to push it around.
