Hypothetical question for no particular reason at all

[Wannabe...]

Say if a fella need to take a boat of the trailer to....oh, I don't know....work on the hull for some reason. How would you go about that without some sort of lift?

I can figure a way to lift the rear - using a stand and the jackplate, but any thoughts on the front?

And don't be asking no questions neither.

Wannabe...

your on ya own Chief.

Don't know how to jack up the front. Would be scared to try a jack unless you could spread the force out over a larger area.
Sounds like you are gonna be havin' some fun in the shop for this Beautiful Memorial day Weekend.

You should tell us now or we will have to start speculating about what you did.... a stump, a bridge piling, a buoy...

Strap, come along, big arse tree!

get some 4 sets of 4 inch wide straps and and 4 comealongs, then just put the straps under the boat and raise it up. That outta do it.

[tritonman]

yep, just what DD said, I would do it just like that.

And tell your hypothetical friend to quit being cheap and get it done right!

[MO' MONEY]

make sure insurance is paid up, call agent, sit down, pop a top, relax....

I take them off the trailer with a 2 post car lift. I have a set of straps that go from arm to arm in the rear and th front. Pick that sucker up and do water ever needs to be done. Other option is a fork lift with carpet on the arms

WB for you I would do it for 75.00 plus a deposit of 500.00 incase it falls and hurts my shop floor.

Sucks to be misfortunate. Doesn't it
