not sure what your saying but you can winch a boat on the trailer. If its a roller trailer its a little too easy,lol. If it's a bunk trailer and the boat wont move just wet the bunks. with a boat that size there should be no problem.. ive done it with my 20 foot bow rider. I moved the winch then winched the boat up. The bigger problem is the tongue weight changes.

Oh, and congrats on the new boat, enjoy.

I slid the winch post forward and the boat was easy to move. To easy. I had to move it back a bit. Seems ok now.

The motor fired right up and idled fine. There was a bit of fuel in the splash well after the 4 hour ride. I have two carb rebuild kits and I think I will do that soon. I hate to tinker when it runs fine but it can't hurt. I think the owner put auto gear lube in the drive when he changed the seal as there was a partial bottle in the box of spares he gave me. Hasn't run it in the water yet so that should be a minor issue to change. I want to do the water pump also.
Pics of my new to me boat.
