I'll blame that on lack of sleep. I'm thinking that raising the front of the trailer and finding a friend and some lifting straps might be the way to go for removing (and eventually reinstalling) the motor. I think I saw plans for a diy 2x4 motor stand around here somewhere that I'll end up building. I need to grab 2x4 for sawhorses anyways. Speaking of saw horses, what's the best way to support the boat after pulling the trailer out from under it when I fix up the trailer? I can figure out getting it off the trailer and on whatever supports by raising/lowering the trailer, just not sure what the best support system is. My initial thought, short of building a large support structure with bunks like the trailer, is to use sawhorses, with cargo straps in between and some sort of counterweight, maybe with some 2x4 between the straps and hull to avoid heavy loads on the strakes (I think that's the right word). I was thinking you would want to distribute the weight and avoid any point loads that would damage the hull. Edit: spellingSent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk</blockquote>
