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..

I thought about that too. Maybe even tie off to a tree and pull
forward a little. But, it does sound like there is a lot that can go
wrong, and next I'd be the youtube fool of the week thanks to my kids.
I'm thinking I'll call around to a few yards for a quote. Thanks.
