I know why was meant…I was referring to the group of individuals that may take your advice, but were not specifically advised…’only’ farmettes (it was not discouraging enough to the grumpyfarmers, if you will)I especially chose Not to use the term “only”…. because I felt some women may prefer to wear nothing.

How steep and quality of traction of your boat ramp. I have a small ballasted monohull sailboat that is a fraction of the weight of your boat. Use the BX without any issues moving it on the flats around the property. Full sized pick up truck for launch and retrieval at the marina. Ramp progressively steepens to the point where larger boats with significant drafts require sometime even full sized pickups to engage 4x4. Especially when the ramp gets a bit slimy at the end of the season. Friend's Morgan 26 (~#5000 displacement) needs to add +500# in his full sized pickup to haul out his boat.
Pretty sure my L4240 would do OK on the ramp (as long as there was a good anchor at the top)

YA know something I found out during my misbegotten youth. Where boats and motorcycles are concerned, and to a lesser degree hot rods, women do seem to take their clothes offI especially chose Not to use the term “only”…. because I felt some women may prefer to wear nothing.

OP - you need to heed Skeets' words of wisdom. He's had many boating accidents from what I gather. I think he'd also suggest removing any firearms and related components BEFORE any attempt is made to move that boat with your tractor.
and yes, KTAC would be a good idea as well.

Although I can/do appreciate the “scenery” in that pic, I can’t help the urge to “mercilessly flog" that guy for sitting on that hood like that
Why ? It only cost me $50 for a rally hood for my '67 Fastback. Same Oxford white, though I did chrome the external 'smoke ejectors' and headlight rings.
And could someone have parked any closer to the curb?Although I can/do appreciate the “scenery” in that pic, I can’t help the urge to “mercilessly flog" that guy for sitting on that hood like that
Back to the tractor pulling a boat question, there are thousands of photos and videos on the internet of this very thing.
Always enjoyed going to the local ramp on Lake Erie, Ford 8N would put boat trailers in/out of the water all day long. Best fun was watching the 'macho' guys backup too far and sink their cars and pickups.
It was a dual sloped rough concrete ramp. Then the lowly 8N would pull 'macho' out for $10.

I grew up on Lake Erie on weekends (the South Siiiiide of course). On days too nasty to go fishing if nothing better to do, we would go to state docks with lawn chairs and dad fish in’ friends would bring cooler and watch the show. I was still in school but it was funny. Best part was on days we were going out to go fishing there would be line at docks sometimes and honestly some folks needed a special lane…anyway pop was not patient after about three tries he would ask (I was already in the driver seat and pop in the boat) if they need help politely to which someone would tell him what they could do and the. he would offer his kid to back for them…me…then they would watch in awe as I threaded the needle and dad backed boat off and I would park, step off the dock and onto the boat and awaaaaay we went. I was in middle school at the time. It was so funny watching folks with their rigs and expensive boats and not know how to drive either the vehicle or the boat. We saw multiple vehicles under water…it was unbelievable to a kid like me. I sure miss my dad and G-VilleJay reminded me of those great times with pop on the lake. I sure miss him. Happy THURSDAY tractor friends.

When I find myself getting lost in the “interweb”, I occasionally find my self watching it and laughing my a$$ off…….
The Big Dan Show comes to mind…….
