Just wondering if anyone has ever made boat stands that can be used for the corners of the boat? I want to take my boat off the trailer and I was hoping I could fabricate some stands. I do have a mig welder and I would want them to be adjustable. Like the adjustable screw jack kind.

Everybody i know stacks cement blocks...you could maybe find a nearby boatyard and rent-borrow a couple for a time. Lots of boats are coming off their stands next few weeks.

I'd probably use these. They're cheap at ~$90/ea for the 3500# model.

I have made them with the swivel scaffold legs that jsp posted.

I took normal car jack stands and cut them right at the top of the taper. Then I welded in a piece of chromoly tubing that the scaffolding legs slide into. Then I just put a piece of wood or thick rubber in between the stand and the hull. I have them at home and will take a picture when I get there after work.

Just say no to CMU blocks for use as "jack stands" in any application! Great way to get yourself seriously injured or killed.
