Boat Stands/ Jack
 

Anybody ever put a Cig Cafe Racer on jacks/ stands to do trailer restoration or project? If so how did you go about it and what did you use? Do you still have the jacks or stands ? Would you consider renting them for a couple of months? Maybe selling?

im wanting to completely re do my poor old tired trailer this winter but would like to get my boat off of it to do so! Thank you for any input or advice!

lower as low as possible the trailer coupler
put 2 jack stands in the 2 corners of the back of the boat
raise trailer as high as possible, or as high as needed to clear trailer
support the front of the boat either with a belt on a gantry, or on a forklift
or support with jack underneath the hull
move trailer forward according to the front support method you used
if it is suspended, get it out in one shot
if using stands, move forward till it stops
support else where there is enough space to move forward again, repeat till it is over !

well equipped ( front suspended) it takes me max 30 minutes all by myself from start to finish
if you support the front of hull with stands, it may take 1 hour or 1.5

once that's done, add more support but never use concrete blocks ! they sometimes collapse!

I have seen sets of those stands on market place or craigslist for a couple hundred bucks. might want to look around and see what can be found.
