No offense, but I wouldn't trust my boat with that thing. It looks
inherently unstable.


Not only unstable, but the entire weight of the boat is supported at only
three points ... the bow and two points on the stern. I don't think I'd
leave a boat out of the water for long like that. Most boats that I see
on the hard have blocks spaced along the keel to support the boat weight.

Especially at the bow eye. I grimace when winching my 1300 lb sailboat onto
it's trailer by the boweye... I sure wouldn't want to lift it that way.
