That was my thought also, but while we're on the subject... I just bought a Trailer Valet XL and I'm really pleased with how easily it moves our boat and trailer around on our new large driveway. Less expensive that the OP option, even with the purchase of a 20V drill to power it.

Looks interesting. How far can you push it with the drill? How about a slight incline?

I do agree. It could definitely be a bit cheaper but I`ll get plenty of use out of it.
And yes there are many cheaper options out there too this is just what I decided to go with.

I think it can be much cheaper.

My area is pretty flat and the drill has plenty of capacity and grunt to move it around for at least several hundred feet I suspect.

Here's what the manual says about inclines.

"DO NOT use the Trailer Valet on slopes and inclines exceeding a strict maximum of 10 degrees on a paved/concrete surface. This rating is subject to factors including, but not limited to, alternate surfaces, weight distribution, change in weight capacity, and use on multi-axle trailers. DO NOT pull up or push down an incline. The unit must always be on the lower end of any incline."

Sounds good. Thanks for the info!

I have a Power Caster PC2

Back when I bought mine in 2002, I thought it was expensive at $900. They are double that now.

How can you make a recommendation when you put it together and moved a boat about maybe 6 ft' forward and 6 ft' back?

How long does the battery last?
What about on an incline approaching the max?
Are you looking for approval?
Are you a shill for the product?

Maybe this should be deleted as spam?

Because I know a good product when I see one.

First off the battery is the same as what you would use on an ATV. Besides that you just plug it in an charge it whenever you want. I can do that after every use and it is ready to go whenever.

It handles up to a 6 degree incline.

Like I said this is my own opinion and I can tell how easily it moves the boat even for that 6 feet because I also moved that boat the same 6 feet by hand and it was not easy at all. It actually took 2 people to do by hand.

And just so you know I was not paid by them to say anything. I bought the item myself with my own money and I would never recommend anything I don't like weather it is for money or not and I will continue posting products I like weather you like it or not. LOL

I think a trailer hitch on a garden tractor is a good option.----Front or back.-----Means you can cut the grass before you go fishing.

I`d agree but I don't have a garden tractor nor do I have enough grass to justify getting one. But if you already have one for sure it is a better option.

Mine is a 19 HP Deere. Not a big one, but not a little one either. I'm quite sure that with my tongue weight the poor Deere would flip backwards.....
