I read this and had to wonder..

...how deep was the 'boat' in the water? If the ramp was shallow, or
leveled out so the boat was never able to float off the trailer, it would
take a lot of pull (or push) to move that half ton of boat. I feel that if
you were able to move the boat 6", it couldn't have been stuck to the
trailer.
