Can I launch my boat with an ATV?

[Scarab Jet]

My boat and trailer together weigh about 2800 pounds... Are there any ATV's out there that I could use to launch and retrieve my boat with?
Thanx in advance...

is the ramp flat?,a good 4x4 atv will pull it,but it may pull you in,to much weight

the guys at our service center use one of those Polaris rangers to move/launch some big a$$ boats!

I've used a rino(4x4 golf cart) before....

We have launched with the Rhino before. No problems what so ever.

thanx for all the replies... how about just a regular 4x4 atv with handle bars instead of a steering wheel (not a golf cart looking thing)...
thanx again,
Mike...

I bet you could launch it, but pulling it out might be different.....try it on a quiet day when no one (with a camera) is around... :D

We launch with our Polaris 800 EFI and 700 EFI..It works.. We sell them.. They are only rated for 1500lbs... But our boat and trailer weigh more than that..

looks like youre a little over loaded

I can barely launch mine with an F-350.
An ATV would just be a heavy anchor to pull up from the bottom.

Can u pull it out too!? That got to be a sight to see. Youve got a big boat.

sure, if the boat is small enuff or the atv is large enough use common sense, if you haven't drunk it out of you :D :messedup: :sqeyes:
