For many years, my Dear Husband (DH) and I have enjoyed taking our 13-foot wooden rowboat on local rivers and lakes. We have used a boat pole and a dolley, and we've carried to boat to the water on top of our car.

It's getting to the point where lifting the boat up in the air is too hard and too dangerous. I think it would be nice to buy a small trailer, rent a storage space, and keep the boat on it.

However, the DH says that trailers are awful to drive. I wonder if he didn't just have bad equipment or old-fashioned equipment when he tried it. That would have been years ago.

Does anybody have any insights on this? We're not talking the Rocky Mountains here, just nice Midwestern landscapes, although we do have steep hills sometimes.
