[Rhodes22-list] Getting Boat off trailer for painting.

[brad haslett]

Bob,

Your idea works great.  I built a stand that fits
under the stern and supports the full width but two
stands well placed will do the same thing.  You may
find it difficult to get under the bunk boards without
removing them.  If they need replaced or recovered now
is a good time to do it.  Working around the trailer
and painting the bottom without painting the trailer
as well is a major PITA but do-able.  Good luck, we
haven't had a dry day in two weeks.  I can't imagine
yours being any better.
