Is there any blocking under the boat? Or is it just held up by stands? I've never taking a boat off a trailer before so I'm probably wrong in satin that the stands are used to keep it level as the blocking underneath is used as the weight supporters.

I supported mine at the Keel and midway up, the stands should only be used to keep it level. I used a chain from side to side to keep them (stands)from sliding out while I was working on it.

^ that is the correct way to block a boat. I use an automotive hydraulic lift to get it off the trailer. Takes all of 5 minutes chalked up and on stands. I understand not many have the access to one but I've done it many tines with jacks and blocking takes a bit longer but still done correctly
