I have a very tight garage spot for the Horizon 190 and I have a diesel truck. Needless to say every time I put the boat back into the garage it fills up with diesel fumes. It is also hard to angle the boat tight to the wall. I recently missed my chance at getting a reasonably priced powered trailer dolly so I went with a front mounted tow hitch instead. At least it is always with me and the trailer. I have to tell you it works better than I thought it would. No fumes in the garage and I can actually see well enough to spot the trailer quickly and tight to the wall. I know it is a bit of a hassle to switch the truck around but the benefits outweigh the trouble. Now if I take the rig to a campground I can also spot the trailer a lot easier at the camp site. The other benefit is that the Admiral (love her to death) and I used to use the Motorola Talk-Abouts to guide me into the garage and now that is also avoided as I can pretty much do it all myself. I rate the hitch very high on the consumer report “does it actually work” list.

No fuel problems if you just float. Bugger that, I'm burning fuel this season.

As for the Admiral... A happy wife is a happy life.

I've had one on the front of my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee for about 5 years or so....best thing ever for backing up any trailer, when you have a very narrow driveway and a narrow street (like I do) and you can do it without a spotter.

I have one too on the front. I have to admit, I have not used it yet though. Since my truck is as high as it is (4WD diesel), I would probably need a 4-6 inch drop hitch to make it get in the garage.
