So how did you pick your Mac up and get it back on the trailer?
Wie haben Sie Ihren Mac aufgenommen und wieder auf den Trailer gebracht?

Is anyone else finding this hard to believe?

Es ist entweder gute fiktion oder deutcher einfallsreichtum.

Not really. Advanced knowledge can be crippling as well as a blessing. We have boats scattered about on grass after every hurricane. Many of them are picked up by crane with straps by guys who aren't remotely concerned, and set back in the water with little to no damage (the very lucky ones). While I would be too afraid to try his method, I think it would probably be fine. I just don't have a good grassy spot to try it.

I would put a lot of blankets on the forks and get several buddies to help re-load it. But, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

If you read Hart's thread where he picked the boat out of the debris pile that used to be his trailer, and drove his new trailer under it; a forklift might be looking pretty good.

Wir haben das Boot mit Gurten angehoben und auf den Rasen gelegt. Dann zur einen Seite gedreht und den Boden gemacht. Sorry, ich kann das nur in deutsch eintippen.

Don't suppose someone would want to put this in English for us mono-linguials?

[NiceAft]

It's either good fiction or German ingenuity.

Thanks for the translator tip!

If he used straps and just lifted it with the loader, well, that's not dicey at all.

Hmmm... So now you have me wondering if I could bring in a loader
But I would the Trailer Wheel(s) get in the way of the Loaders Folks? .... And on an the belly of the hull ends up below the trailer frame (Channels or Beams) so the folks won't be able to lower the belly all the way down to the bunks.

Hmmm... are you sure .... The picture above shows an lying on it's side

Straps under the boat. Loader forks over the boat lifting with the straps. Basically a sling lift using the loader forks instead of a crane.

When you put it down on the grass with only straps under it, it's probably easy to roll it over to paint the bottom.

A high reach loader would be my preference. But, if you can get over the boat and still lift a foot or so, you could drive the trailer out from under the boat - and move the new one in...

Oh Ok... I didn't realize the folks would go that high.
Now I understand
