As a first time boat owner, this vevor boat dolly was a great investment. It is very heavy but easy enough to assemble (I did have to go out and buy a bigger wrench to tighten the nuts on the wheels, however). The ball hitch says it has a 3500 lb limit, not the 1000 lb limit listed here, and I have had no trouble moving my boat and trailer that, together, weigh in around 2000 lbs. I'm fortunate to be able to store my and trailer in my garage, but with a single garage door and only a few inches to spare on all sides, it is much easier to maneuver the boat a half inch here or there with this dolly than while attached to my vehicle and working in reverse.
