Anyone got any experience or ideS how I can cheaply and repeatly launch a heavy duck boat down a sandy launch without trailer tires sinking in ?

Can your truck not push it through the sand?

if you have a portable air pump, try airing down your tires for a wider (and more pliable) foot print. of course, you can't go lower than the load will allow (pinch flat or tire pulling off of wheel)

rip 12" wide pieces of ply wood and lay under the tires.

Trailer has to go about 200 yards from camp to water . Sandbar has nice slope to launch. Thinking now about replacing trailer tires with 4 wheeler tires. Boat stays at camp. ??

That would probably work best. Keep as low as air pressure as you can.

Sand is the devil dust!!!! Be sure and have plenty gas and beer when you attemp this LOL


Tx Trip 2010 trying to make it to the back bay.
EPIC FAILURE!!!



I hit that stuff running 70mph thinking I could push thought it made it to the last 50 yards and was stuck like chuck! It was a good 150-200 yrds back to the wet sand. And for the ones that have never had any dealing with this you can go all day long on wet sand dry sand SUCKS!!!

Dry Sand Will eat you alive. There is no reliable way to navigate with regular AT tires. Can you pull it with a ranger utv?

My willys does great in sand low and slow. I was able to back in and out twice then skinny trailer tire started rutting. Thinking if I can find a five hole side by
Y side or Atv tire rim and put boat trailer on it

Those small pontoon boat trailer tires they are about wide as they are tall.
