I was trying to figure out how to move the Halman on the trailer without actually launching the boat. The reason is that the boat isn't sitting right on the trailer - too far forward and a little to the right on the rollers.
Came up with the answer this morning in a fit of genius. I jacked up the bow, used a heavy duty tie down rig, strung it across the bow and attached it to the right and left stanchions on the trailer.
VOILA!!!
It only took me three days to figure it out, but hey...

That is because you are a mathematician. And your slide rule was not strong enough.

Man, I'm really tired.
What's the problem? This is rec.boats. I just assumed it was a play on words with a nod to our venue.
