    Trailer and Hitch to tow a small boat

    Todd, is that a 12 foot Little River Marine Heritage? I have the 18 foot with a single sliding seat rower, same color. I wish I lived close enough to a ramp to use that bicycle trailer setup.

    Question about google maps..

    Each application has its strengths and it makes sense to use the tools you feel are relevant for you.
