Abstract: A short haul tow bar for a boat which is supported at one end by a pair of wheels. The tow bar is of circular tubular configuration at one end with a transverse sleeve welded across it, so that it may extend horizontally from a vehicle bumper with limited pivotal movement in a vertical plane. The bar is then curved upwardly and it is flattened at the other end to form a rectangular receptacle. A coupling bar carries a cork screw type hook which may be turned into the eye generally provided at the bow of a boat and then inserted into the receptacle to support the boat for pushing it into the water.
