![]() "Eddie" wrote in message ... I have a Regal, dry weight around 8,200lbs. It sits on a three-axle trailer, weight approx. 1,500 lbs. I have six so-so tires and will have the boat sitting on a cement pad for the next 6 mo. or so doing some major and minor work on it. I'm thinking that with all that weight on the tires that if they lose air I may have a hard time putting air in them where it sits. I suppose I could call AAA and ask for a truck that has an air compressor. So my question is, could I put a couple of floor jacks to help support the weight of the boat and trailer? I've seen where cars that are stored for a long time have something to remove the weight under the car. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking that I'd need minimum four with each having a 2-ton capacity. I'd have to figure out a way to lift the boat up to slide the jacks under it. Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Eddie I did this for my sailboat...total 2300 lbs boat & trailer and do it for my Princecraft/motor & trailer...maybe 800lbs You know it's gotta be easier on the sidewalls and avoids that flat spot in the tire thread. |
