Tom-
1. Certainly eliminates the need for bottom paint or bottom cleaning!
2. I wouldn't stand right in front of that cable when he's pulling the boat back on the trailer on the beach! A broken cable could be a dangerous whip or bandsaw blade, depending on it's elasticity, etc.
3. Helps that he has a tandem trailer (for the load distribution in the sand) and a roller trailer (for reloading the boat on the trailer).
4. With the tractor's variable height tongue connector, it turns the trailer into a "tilt trailer", effectively.
5. Note the plastic covered bunks in the rear of the trailer with the downward turned loading ramp section.
6. Just shows "Where there's a will, there's a way!", as my Dad used to say.
Joe. :teeth :thup
