I don't know about you but my boat sits a lot higher than 6" off the ground on the trailer. I'd think at 4-6" and Jim only needing to gain 8" they should work well. Jim just make sure your skegs will be high enough if you get the hull that low. Although it's not the end of the world pulling the drives to store for the winter.

Jim I have a set of dollies in my shop that I had thrown in on an engine deal from a few years ago similar to these. They are just sitting up in storage so if you would like to borrow them this winter and see if they work for you feel free, I won't be using them this year.
Thanks
Jim

Since the whole boat won't fit in the garage (20' in and 10' out) I am going to leave the bow sticking out and seal the hole with rigid foam board. This way I can heat the garage and leave the bow sticking outside! I am sure it sounds strange and will look even stranger but it's what I have to do to be able to work on the engine compartment and cockpit without freezing my a$$ off! With the boat off the trailer it will be easier to close the hole with foam board vs. having to work around the ibeams of the trailer.
