MOVING BOATS ACROSS OUR PORTAGE

Many people ask how we get materials and supplies in to Anglers Kingdom. Gas, Propane, food, lumber even boats and motors. Our portage is not really designed to be having big heavy boats hauled across it.  However we had to get it done quickly so we performed some modifications and made it work. Each boat took about 4 hours. Half the time was spent fixing the areas where the wheels broke thru.  In the past we winched the boats on log rollers. But i didn’t want to chance damaging the hull on any of these gorgeous boats. So we modified our 16 foot trailer to handle 20 foot boats.
Here is a few photos of bringing a 20 foot Lund Alaskan with a 90 tiller on it. But we also had a 130 honda inside of it and a full internal tank full of gas PLUS we had a bunch of water from the previous nights rain.
