Thanks for the help. There was no motor on it when the stringers were removed. When I look down the steps front to back I can see the bottom is true right up until the stringers are removed. I don't think this will be too difficult to straighten.
I spent yesterday designing a carriage from plywood that will hold the aft 8' straight and true. I can support the hull forward of that with jack stands as the stringers are still in place. Another few evenings and she will be straight again. I will post pics when I get it together.
If there is a lesson in this it is that trailers are made for hauling boats, not for properly supporting the hull when the structural components are removed.
