Solar panel, battery, 12v hydraulic pump, big ass ram under trailer pulls 4 cables with pulleys inside the posts to raise and lower boat. Back Raptor off trailer, lower boat, unhitch from RV, move RV, hitch to Raptor and launch boat. Piece of cake! Tows nice. I put a transom jack on the Baker so I can drop the OB when on trailer so it’s about 6” lower than top of coach. And of course the transom jack will be handy in the skinny water of the lower keys. Stopped in Tucson for the night, in the morning it’s: Eastbound and down, loaded up and trucking...OK, how do you get the boat down?... or up?
