That's the exact method I use to walk my P14 up my driveway. I could back
the trailer in, but I want the stern downhill so any rainwater that gets in
the cockpit will drain out the cockpit drain instead of into the cabin.
If I ever get my garage cleaned out so I can park the boat inside, I
thought I would mount a winch on the garage back wall to pull the boat
inside. Or I could redirect the strap on the boat winch and use that one.
