"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. Mustn't munge up those tire threads. You'll play hell trying to put nuts on them. -- Imagine being such a worthless p.o.s. that you post on usenet using someone else's ID |
