[Rhodes22-list] boat jacks/ bottom paint

[Bill Effros]

Don,

I use the same method you use except that I have jack stands that are open on the bottom.  I place small (6 ton) hydraulic jacks under the open bottoms of the jack stands and use them to lift the boat.  Then I turn the cranks on the jack stands to lock the position of the moving part that supports the boat.

Jerry,


I am very interested on your process. I tried doing it this year and used standard boat yard boat jacks. I simply jacked up the whole trailer and boat and set the Jacks. Dropped the trailer and removed the tires. It did giver me enough room to work but you method looks even easier. I have included some of my pictures.
