I saw an advertisement for a trailer dolly with inflated wheels, the one that has a long handle and ball that slides beneath the hitch coupling and raises the coupling and trailer tongue up when you push down on the handle. It showed a teenaged kid easily moving what looked to be about a 20' center console rig with big outboard on the back. It was on a paved driveway, but it looked to be too heavy for that kid to wheel around that easily. What do you think? :rolleyes: <br />Stalker

On hard, level surfaces they work well, stalker. Rough surface or slope then forget it.

See the other post about backing in tight spaces, I think a front hitch is a better deal, if there is even a slight slope you might have a problem if you get it moving, and then can't stop it!<br />There are motorized dollies but they're pricey, the front hitch makes much more sense.
