Yeah Jetty That's kind of our style, the building we are in now is all loading bays so I guess it would be a keen boat thief to attempt this. Although we have had one set of ramps stolen. No doubt for scrap grrrrr

A jack or that metal roll-on jack are worthless on gravel or hot asphalt. A few boards does the trick.
