Re: Hauling an Alberg 30 on my own

Thank you for the encouragement. I am leaning towards having the boat lifted this time, but keep going back to the " I can do it". Its a good point about getting my marks for tongue weight.

Re: Hauling an Alberg 30 on my own

Right on, thank you! I could bring my anchors on shore and place them in the dirt and attach them to the uhaul though...ha

Two trucks, seems really wise.
Aye, two trucks. Or four trucks, why not?...

Re: Hauling an Alberg 30 on my own

Ok, even though it would be withing their tow rating and on their website they advertise "haul your boat to the lake".
