Default Removing boat from trailer for service

my friend, gets lots of scrap wood, the thicker the better 2x6's or 2x4's
but double them for strength.
also get some fifty five metal barrels and have someone with a gas torch cut
them in half. get at 2ton hydraulic jack, and by using leverage,
wood ,and half barrels you can get the boat off the trailer, where as the
trailer can be pulled out.

I have done this to several boats including a 24 footer, and it works.

Hi all,

I've done a Google search on the subject, but I still; haven't figured out
how to safely get my boat off of the trailer to service both the boat hull
and the trailer while on dry land. Nearest lake is 1.5 hrs away. (Want to
refinish the trailer and replace rollers, and need to refinish the boat

hull
under the rollers)

I'm stumped. Any help from you old salts would be appreciated.
