Trying to get it up!
After wet slipping and fighting nature's relentless need to build reefs. It is time to consider going back to the trailer. Since our bottom paint is in need of a redo or just removal period. DYI is preferred. Getting the boat up high enough for work needs to be over come. Boat stands seam like the prudent approach. Just wondering how others have done this. Maybe a neat idea that I have not yet seen on the internet.

Be very careful! There are a variety of ways to get a boat off of its trailer but best choice is to take it to a boatyard that will let you DIY cleaning and painting but have them lift and set the boat on legit stands with their travel lift. Or set-up a rig like this one in my backyard, you'll soon have lots of friends . . .
