will be painting the outside of my seacraft. what is the best way to

1. remove boat from trailer

2. type of stands to allow for painting on exterior (complete)

3. boat might be in water a few days once in a while. what is the most durable (scuff resistant) paint out there?

thanks for any input

I was lucky enough to have access to an A frame and
a fork lift. Had two cables made to attach to the forks on
the lift. Only down side was painting on my back.

kent,

i am assuming you attached the chain to the eyebolts at the transom. where did you attached the boat to up front?

Cables to the U bolts at transom, Lifting ring at the bow.
Here are a couple more pics.
Lifting ring at bow has 1/2 inch stainless threaded rod that ties into the bow eye. Do not try to lift boat with just a cleat. Bosun Supply or West Marine, etc. carries them.

Hope this helps.

See ya, Ken
