How do get boat off trailer, safely?
#12
If ur in the miami área do it by hand. It takes 2 cubans per foot and 8 along the transom to lift it off the tráiler for a v hull with twin i/o power . get em from in front of home depot or lowes. Get em early so they will be sober

Just back up real fast and slam on the brakes... Make sure the boat is unhooked first

I work at a marina and we generally use a Travel Lift. But for some boats we use Yard Arms. Basically, they're portable hydraulic jacks with arms that extend under the sides (outside chines) of the boat. Position four (or six) of these bad boys correctly, then lift about an inch at a time at each jack until the trailer is cleared. And yes, the arms do extend far enough in to allow one to pull the trailer out once the boat is up high enough. They also have a nice locking feature to allow one to safely work under a boat supported by them. They are pretty expensive, but maybe a marina near you would rent you a set.

Yard Arms are the way to go, find a marina near you that has them they may do it for you. I use mine for my detailing customers when they need bottom work or there trailers need work . $100 off and a $100 back on.
