Moving a Large Pontoon Through Swamp w/ Truck

Well today I helped my Grnadpa out at the property, and we needed to get the pontoon boat/trailer to the front of the property cuz it has been sold, but with allt he rain we have had, and the low lying area at the back, I took the plunge and hooked up to it.. truck didn't break a sweat and pulled through the SOFT swap with ease.. didn't sag much either, as you can see in the pics












JOB DONE

This one was only about a 2-3" drop.. but with the weight of the trailer, it wasn't TOO bad.. I was just moving it a few hundred yaards
