I too have handled I-20's (of friends) on the (soft sand) beaches and trailers. I sure as hell do not rate that as pleasant. We have a small incline to the beach as well and I'm fit. Still all F18 and I-20 sailors at my club use an electric winch to get the boats into the parking spaces. The F16's and A owners and one or two H16 and P16 owners are the only ones still doing it by muscle power.

I don't know what kind of level concrete slabs you guys are using at the waterfront but I too would like to envite your 250 lbs body to do the "walk of manhood" at my club !

Ask Tim Bohan for details if you don't believe me.
