I have a 215 Searay Express and pull it with a Ford Explorer 2 WD with a factory tow package (rated for 5,000 lbs).
The problem is (at low tide only), when I pull the boat out of the water, I do not get enough traction on the concrete ramp to pull it out. Tires just spin.This has happened at different boat ramps so it is not 1 ramp in particular. My present solutions is either wait till high tide or get assistance. .Some other suggestions I heard are putting kitty litter down in front of tires to getting traction mats??
The last person who helped tow me out suggested that I move the bow stop post more toward the front of the trailer to shift the weight.
Any thoughts or suggestions on that idea?
Thank you in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!
