I have the same issue with mine, fine with a couple of guys but its usually only me and the wife. We get it partially up on our beach and then chain it to a tree. Has worked over the years.
I have thought of mounting an electric winch on one of the trees and use it to drag the raft up the shore.
Another option would be to get it over to the dock within the protection of the bubbler and leave it floating over the winter. Anyone ever try this?
