When I'm dealing with an uneven bottom I prefer to keep the boat floating. Padding the rocks with carpet may not be sufficient unless the hulls are evenly supported. If the hull is resting on a high point ( i.e. big rock under the carpet, and all of the weight is concentrated on that point, the hull can be damaged. A trailer with good cradles will support the hulls well, as will a sandy beach, but when dealing with a rocky shore, I prefer to keep the boat floating when it's not on the trailer.

<br>I'm curious as to why so much energy is required to get the main up on the H20. Is it that last tug that's tough? Or the whole way up?
