Anybody use a quad to move your boat around? I'm looking for something to move my boat to the side of the house. It's a tight fit and on grass. Will a quad handle this?
I used to used my little Kawaski 220 Bayou to push my 22' DCB around (same hull as yours). I used to leave the front wheel on the trailer and not put all the tongue weight on the quad. It did it, it wasn't as pretty as a Honda 4trax or Polaris would be.

Ditto with a 15 hp Honda.
It works fine. I wouldn't try launching with it, either.
Used to move mine around with 13 horse craftsman (around 1700lbs deal)...backyard drive was about as steep as many launches, but if you popped the clutch too fast it would pull a scary wheelie. Wet tires might make it tough too.
Awsome pics RD those rhinos are sweet
You guys have some bitchin ideas to move boats around. I need something small yet powerfull. The Rhino is too big. I'm curious about the riding mower idea. I'll have to find one......
i've been looking in to that. i'll have to get a custom reciever. I was thinking that a quad might be even more manuverable. A front hitch is still an option.
Just remember to go slow if you use a quad, not a lot of braking power or mass in case you F%^& UP!!! :sqeyes:
