OK, I'll ask - How did you get it up there?

What's taking all of the weight Dave.  Surely not the racks.

No idea Bob.  Just a random photo I found.  Looks like the trailer wheels are supported by something in the tub.

I hope so Dave.  Otherwise if someone was to cut the tie down on the hitch/draw bar it could get a bit messy.

I'd say they pushed or whinched it up some ramps from the back. That boat wouldn't weigh a lot. Interesting though!

I reckon the last words this bloke heard before the pic was taken was from his Ex "Get out and take your boat and crap with you!"  :laughing7:

Any other theories?

Photoshop?

I reckon he was trying to save the rubber on his boat trailer.

When we were cruising annually.
I met a bloke, similar setup.
Small van on back.
He went from place to place of choice.
parked the van, (in park normally)
Went to a local transport or Supermarket place.
They all have forklifts for loading offloading pallets etc.
Slip 'em a $20/50 whatever.

Use boat while there.
reload same way. Off to next place and repeat.
He'd been doing it for about 5 yrs.
Hitting all the good fishing spots on East and West coast.
 plus Top end.

MUCH better than dragging a missus around, whinging all the time he said.
I soooooo agree.
