After I totaled my duck rig, I had the motor and the boat at different shops. The mechanic who fixed the motor, let me borrow his hitch/motor carrier to get the motor back to the boat. My 35 horse rode like a dream. If I ever tinkered with a lot of outboards I would have one of those things for sure. Also, when gas gets up to $5/gal, you can use the prop thrust for added mpg!
