Put in a 4 inch pipe about 4 foot high then weld the tongue to the pipe.

Just chain the tongue to a stake or tree. Why block both wheels with
chicks and blocks? It's not a pitbull Do you even know the difference? Does someone need a hug?

Is this the boat you bought to graph/map small bodies of water so that you can kayak fish in them?
Or are you fishing from the boat now?

Or are you fishing from the boat now? Yes I am learning to appreciate fishing from a boat. Sure is nice to sit on a comfortable chair next to a cooler of ice cold beverages while holding position with a trolling motor in 30 feet of water Ill recant/modify spinning on a fixed axis If the rear wheels are chocked front and back/fully locked with four chocks front wheel wont likely move unless you overcome the resistance of two chocks (one behind one wheel and one in front of the other) If just chocked behind the rear wheels (two chocks) arc movement at the front is possible if you overcome the resistance of one chock

I liked the concreted pipe in the driveway with a ball welded on top. you wouldn't have to worry about chocking the wheels. Of course, you wouldn't be able to get it in or out, but that wasn't really part of the original problem. Maybe you could make the pipe in the ground "swing-away" (actually lay flat so the axle of the trailer clears it). Then when you sell the house in the future, the new homeowner could wonder what in the world was going on.

Dig a 8' hole through driveway. Add one of those parking poles like see in front of WalMart that have concrete poured in pipe. Add hitch ball to top of pole. Hook boat to ball when not in use. I missed yours Mark before I posted somewhat the same idea. I think collincty maybe a small bit over analytical.
