I have a launching problem. . . I will be launching the new SIB set up from the boat club car park to the water 60-120 meters, the sib and outboard weigh almost 100kg together and carting the 60kg outboard downhill over the the large stones is almost impossible as your feet sink in the lemon size stones a goof few inches, no lauching wheels or launching trailers will roll over the big stones they just sink, the only solution I can think of is a car or van rear axel bolted on to a ply platform as the wheels will hopefully be big enough not to sink? The plan is that it will roll downhill to the water and the club has a winch so I can winch it back up to the car park
once built I could store the contraption at the club for others to use, failing that idea im thinking of just building a big wood sledge that we can push down to the water and winch back up. any other solution to this problem? The solid boat guys launch by pushing their boats down to the water on a row of plastic mains water tubes/pipes that are held in place on the stones with a rope ladder set up and recover the boat by winching back up the plastic tubes (the boats just slide over them the tubes don't roll and the tubes have to be dug out if the stones regularly) I could reverse right down to the waters edge in my 4x4 but have never tried as I've never seen anyone do it hence I think it would sink to the chassis in the stones lol
