Default Removing boat from trailer

It is a 21 foot Fiberform cuddy cabin. I would guess that is weighs around
2000-2500 lbs.

You do not say what the boat weighs and that is important. I take my

Bolger
skiff off the trailer every year for bottom sanding and painting. I jack
bow up, place strong timber thwartship under the bow and support the

timber
on two sawhorses. These are spaced far enough apart to allow the trailer

to
pass between them. Then I jack the stern and place on two sawhorses. Its
just a matter of pulling the trailer ahead at that point. Hope this

helps.

I am interested in the process / steps for getting a 21 foot boat

off
of
the trailer so I can paint it and also rework the trailer. Is there a

web
site that explains this (with pictures I hope) and also might suggest

what
materials and equipment might be needed?
I have heard from individuals on how to support it by using a floor

jack
and wood. What are your opinions.
Thanks in advance.
