[QUOTE="thill, post: 522872, member: 4972"] [ATTACH type="full"]124041[/ATTACH] Here is one I did back in the summer for trailer repairs. The strap up front was for the engine hoist (cherry picker). First, I lowered the trailer tongue down to the ground to get the transom as high as possible. Then, I put stands under the transom (But I have used logs MANY times) and then lifted the bow with the cherry picker. Rolled the trailer out and replaced the bunks and rollers: [ATTACH type="full"]124042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]124044[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]124043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]124046[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]124045[/ATTACH] It seems scary the first time, but it's quick and simple after you've done it a couple of times. It's easier if you have a cherry picker and stands, but I've done it many times with nothing but a floor jack and some cinderblocks or logs. Aluminum boats are typically much lighter. You can almost lift it by hand and set it on blocks with a lot of them. [/QUOTE]
