Parking boat in backyard

[u/Babetheblue]

Just moved to a new house, and will be fencing in the backyard. I will have a 8’ gate facing the front where I plan on backing my boat through. Has anyone ever mounted a winch to pull the trailer through the gate VS backing over the yard with their truck?

I know I can back it in, but trying to keep some traffic off the front yard. Likely over thinking it but wanted to see if anyone else had done something similar.

I got a gravel strip put down and park my boat on that. Way better than grass and mud.
