Thanks everyone. Lots of good info.
To answer couple of questions.
I'm not getting any younger so not lifting would be strongly preferred. Not much grunt left.
The weight is a guess. I think she weighs 6-700 empty, plus gear etc. If I can move her without unloading all the better.
Hauling her up will be an occasional thing. I'd like to have the option to get her out of the surf. and back in the water. E.g. for the everglades challenge. I have a graphite bottom on her that has performed remarkably well and is easy to touch up.
She carries two rollers well on the gunnels. Looks sporty. I'm sure I can find room for a third/ fourth. Some use pvc successfully.
I like the idea of attaching the block to the bow eye for 2:1. I suppose I could go to a fiddle for more advantage. I'm trying to avoid a come along. Too hard to deal with esp in a sandy environment.
I suppose I should get a no stretch line? It seems a little risky to use the nylon anchor line.
Thanks again!
