Neither! I missed out in the 480 one and the other needs new batteries so I left that one.

Put an offer in on another that came up, negotiated and got it on buy it now. Cheaper than new and will save arguments and bad backs shoving the boat around the yard! [emoji1]

I’ll update this thread when I’ve used it properly a few times [emoji1303].
Nice one Gazzago

Quick update for those interested.

The tracked mover works great. Boat is parked on compacted/loose gravel/hardcore. It does slip a little going upwards but I just stand on the draw bar of the trailer and its fine.

Does exactly what I wanted it to do ����

Excellent, good when a plan come together as you hoped.

Looking forward to the Scottish Sib/RIB video.
