I've seen those.
We are delighted you have found your way to the best Jet Boaters Forum on the internet! Please consider Signing Up so that you can enjoy all the features and offers on the forum.

It can do that with a couple mods. Will need stabilizing wheels in the rear and a bigger motor to hold position better. I actually have a plan for that in the future.I need one for launching the boat. The Mrs backs us in the last 3 feet and somehow she almost has the trailer jackknifed. It's lined up! Stop turning the wheel!
The problem I see with the Easi-move unit is it's permanently mounted to the axle. I think that would be problematic for boating use. I like @Keith Hebert's unit in that it's portable. You have a willing and able test bed within this close knit community @Keith Hebert. I would suggest filing for a patient or at least a letter of agreement for non disclosure if you do so.With those costs you are likely competing with these guys http://www.easi-move.com/easi-move-V2-trailer-mover-powered-electric-trailer-dolly-rv-travel-boat
You can likely beat them on cost but they have a conveinence advantage and in the UK their prices are around £500.
Thank you Gym, I have gotten very motivated to do that. I thought the same thing about the easy move.The problem I see with the Easi-move unit is it's permanently mounted to the axle.

Whew! sounds complicated.@Keith Hebert -Sweet! Have you considered electric over hydraulic power plant with solenoid valves in between hydraulic wheel motors? Loads of torque that way with a large abilty to resist various grades and momentum. Just my .02.
