I been bust'n my back getting my 12' Jon boat in and out of my truck bed. Finally decided to buy a cheap 10' utility trailer to transport and launch it. I did have to correct a problem with the ball hitch making too much noise and what straps to secure the boat with 2.5 hp 4-stroke Merc and tm on the transom. Now I can cart the boat, a live well for fish, all my gear and boat seat all left in the boat. Note: the rear gate was removed.

BTW, this adjustable hitch for ball height, leveled the trailer and now much less noise and a more stable trailer moving 60mph.
