Default Boat doesn't load evenly onto trailer at launch ramp!

Bryan,

Now you're thinking like a trailer boater, hombre. Way to go!

I thought everyone knew that you just put a larger wheel/tire on the
downhill side of the trailer.... or a smaller one..... you get the idea,
eh?

Bunch of wiseguys, eh.

Since I obviously don't want to drive a trailer that has different sized
wheels, but the suggestion seems logical, I've thought of an alternative
solution.
I'm going to mount a roll of duct tape on a roller behind the downside
wheel. Then when I'm retrieving the boat I'll attach the tape to the tire
and it can wrap onto the tire as I drive to the prep area; this should
give me the extra inch or two of wheel height I need when the trailer is
in the water. When I leave I can attach the tape to the dock and driving
away will unwrap the tape leaving me with equal wheels again.

Thanks guys, couldn't have thought of it without you!
