My husband and I (getting old and not so strong anymore) just moved to a lake front home. (This is a dream come true and I thank God every time I look out)
We walked my AI down to the lake on the Hobie trailer, with a wheeled trailer jack. It rolled fine thru the grass. Then we have a concrete path with a gently slope, but it does get steeper as we get toward the shore. As the slope increased, it was hard to hold it back. I definitely would not have felt safe trying to control it myself.
So unless the road is pretty flat I would be super careful about moving it by hand or bike.
We are already thinking about what to do when it's time to get the boat back to the house! But that is a problem for another day.
Consider using a small winch. This is what I do to get my TI into my storage shed which is not accessible by a vehicle and is uphill. The TI on the trailer is too heavy to push uphill. So I purchased an inexpensive
Harbor Freight winch. It pulls the TI with ease and saves my back.
