[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 119665, member: 437"] I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... first, you do not want a 10 foot boat if you are wanting something stable. They are a bit more stable than a canoe, but not much. Second, you are not going to move a 14 foot boat trailer on it's side through a door. Just not going to happen. I have a 1442 with 18hp outboard on a tilt trailer. I can push/pull the entire rig anywhere I want to (including through the back yard to the driveway, roughly 100 yards of turf at a slight incline) but there is no way I could flip the trailer up on it's side and move it anywhere without tearing something off of it by dragging it. I'm 6'5" @ 250 and don't know that I could even pick it up to attempt to carry it like that. A 1448 is a super stable platform for a "small" boat but most of them are not lightweight by themselves, either. [/QUOTE]
