Hi All,
We have a 19ft, twin engined (2x85 yamaha) Indigo 600 hybrid on a normal trailer (no break-neck or anything). Please see fotos attached. The idea is to go to Mozambique (inhambane) in December where they only do beach launches. I don't believe a 4x4 is going to handle a beach launch with our current trailer, and man-handling that boat is not an option. We hear they have tractors out there to push in quite far, but we don't want to be 100% dependent on the availability of others for help.
The idea is to modify the trailer. We have very little experience with beach launches so here it is: what are the options or possibilities taking into account costs, ease of use...

- Breack neck adaption only option?[/*]
- Replace the boards on the trailer with those "wheels" so the boat can fairly easily slide on and off?[/*]
- Both 1 and 2 above?[/*]
- What else is there?[/*]
