I have a 22' sea ray cuddy cabin on a trailer. I'd like to paint the
bottom myself this year and save some money.

How do I get access to the whole bottom to paint it? The trailer
wheels and rollers make this task impossible. There's really not much
room to work under there either.

I have seen guys paint all they could get at, then move the boat back
a little with a come along and paint the holes they missed. Just be
sure you have the trailer blocked up well so it doesn't tilt back on
you when you move the boat. Winch it back into position before you tow
it so your tongue weight is right..

The original poster complained about the lack of room under the trailer.
I suppose he could block up the rear and jack up the front, but...what I
suggested is easier and faster and safer.
