Default Re: Boat support stands / trailer transfer


Thank you for that explanation - done very well.

Now the $1,000,000 question - what can I safely use as a beam, assuming I mount a "V" notched for the "V" of the hull, made out of a 4x4 ( to help w/ stability ) - to lift the front of my boat for this trailer swap ?

I was hoping to use cinder blocks for side support ( they hold houses up ), I think (2) high would do it ( so - (4) for each side of the bow for a total of (8) needed ) Then use (2) bottle jacks, to lift the beam and the boat ...

What should this beam be made of ?

Lastly, does anyone know, maybe from setting up a trailer what the bow weight is of a 23' Tsunami, Sceptre ? ( No 20' need answer... )

Thanks all.
