everybody sez they use their lift. i betcha if he had a lift he wouldn'ta hadda ask. you have to get the bck on blocks high enough so the weight is off the rollers or bunks. sometimes you can drop fromt of trailer and block it. then raise trailer nose up. sometimes you hafta jack stern up off the trailer. get a buncha cement blocks from lowes. then pieces of wood at the top. 2x4...1x6...something. then jack up front of boat so the trailer can come forward a ways before hitting jack. pull trailer up till it is close to jack. drop boat. move jack. repeat.

Vincent showed me this trick a couple years ago. It works like a charm. I do this now just to replace peoples bunks on trailer and the boat and trailer never have to leave the shop.

1 block the back of the boat up off the trailer, use cinder blocks or wood.
2 block the front of the boat up off the trailer , use cinder blocks or wood.
3 remove the tires off the trailer, drop trailer down, put the axles on 4 wheel dollies.
4 get 2 or 3 6x6x10' from a lumber yard.
5 slid the 6x6's between the trailer and the boat.
6block the 6x6' end with cinder blocks.
7 remove the cinder blocks from step 2.
8. drag the trailer out.
9. it works done it many times
