[Rhodes22-list] A tree stand for a Rhodes22

[Rob Granger]

Hey guys.

I don't know if my last response on this came through or not.  I was asked
to comment about the stand I made for my Rhodes and I responded with a
bunch of pics... the post got bounced back because it was too large and
then I could not find the original in my gMail... so... here are a few
answers to your questions...

Yes, the back of the boat is sitting on a picnic table.  I backed up the
boat, lowered the tongue and slid the table underneath, the stern.  Then I
used the trailers jack to lift the tongue as high as it would go.  I
slipped two tow straps around the boat and tightened them up, lowered the
tongue and pulled the trailer out.

Next I blocked off the stern, and keel and then took some of the pressure
off of the tow straps with an auto jack.  I removed one of the straps.
The remaining strap is rated at 3000# but it is not holding up the entire
mass of the boat.  The boat is blocked and the strap provides lateral
support.  See pics.

I hope I answered all of your questions.  If not just shoot another email.
