The yard arms have jacks built into them, and like said above...they are very expensive.

Funny chit but, on a serious note; if you're going to do this in your backyard as you mentioned, think about settleage. If you do it on ground/grass, there is a definite danger of settling and falling on your face!!! You should use very large bases to distribute the weight as much as possible.
You've probably considered this but if not, I'd hate to be reading about you in some thread on OSO. Good luck and check everything twice.:cool: |

Maybe I could buy a few yard arms. Then a jack, a few blocks and I suppose that's it, huh?
Maybe overinflate them first for even more drop when deflated? Seems like that would give you an easy 5-6 inches. |

Why,,,don't u just go to a local maina ,,,and pay them 200 bucks to lift your boat of and use there yard to clean the hull and have it set back on the trailer ??????
1 saturday and u be done !!! I think 200 bucks is well worth it !?:rolleyes: |
Thing is, I want to re-do my bunks. I need to trace the hull so I can cut notches into the bunks for the steps, etc. I didnt want to feel rushed at a marina. So it's not just cleaning the boat.

Leave the trailer under the baot and jack the boat up one section at a time. Clean the spot,set the boat down and move on to the next section.

The only reasons a boat needs to be clean between the bunks:
You keep on davits and hoist very high, or You plan to get drunk at beach and let tide go way out and want a shiny hull to reduce your embarrassment, or you plan to roll the boat, swim to safety and watch the rescue crew slip and slide while trying to rescue you. If you really want to go through with it, take the easy route. Hire a bulemic, crack-addicted Hooter's whore and pay her to shimmy between the bunk and rub it down. Jeesh, i gotta spell it out for you. |
