Slim
I'm very interested in your blocking tecnique, however am unable to open
your photos in this format.  Any advice on how to view photos?

Jim,
Hare are a few shots of my boat blocked up for painting.  When I did 
it, I also took the tires off and let the axle rest on the ground.  I 
jacked it up in two stages.  First I jacked it as high as it would go 
with the trailer jacks, then I blocked up the hull and cranked the 
jacks back into their "short" position.  Then I put blocks under the 
wheels of the rear jacks and then jacked up again, then added more 
blocks under the hull.  As you can see, I put two points under the 
stern and one in the bow.  For the blocks under the bow, I pulled the 
trailer tongue extension out a bit so it would be out of the way.  
Sorry I didn't take the pictures with the tires off the trailer, but I 
really had a lot of room to work.  Of course, when I was done, I 
lowered the boat back down on the trailer and then painted the spots 
where the blocks were.
Hope this helps,
Slim
