Im planning on starting a trailer rebuild project including replacing the bunk boards, trailer lights and wheel bearings. Where is the best place to jack the boat up and support it? I'll have the trailer hooked to the truck and I want to replace the bunk boards in my driveway. Anyone done this before?

I know, me and Scooper, had our bunks already made..(home depot for around 15 buks total), then went to lake, launched it, then removed the old bunks, and installed the new

i dont have to work...fortunetly, I won the lotto 2yrs ago....:hurray:, still cant see blow'n my dough, on new boats, however...:ack:
Blowin smoke!....
What you blowin all that smoke/smack for?..........:rofl:
Yeah man, you can beach the boat. I didn't notice you boat and size before posting but the easiest way to do this is, .....
......Let the tongue on the ground with it sitting over a floor jack. Then, go to the back of the boat, put a couple cinder blocks on either side with a piece of soft ply on top of the boards.
......Now, with the tongue on that floor jack, lift it up as high as you can. This will take the boat off your back pads.
......You will have to either build a wide saw horse for the front or hook a chainfall to a tree and hoist the front and pull the trailer out. If you can't, then,...then you will lift the jack up high enough to attach to your ball. Then, you'll use the jack and some wood to lift the front of the hull. Then, one you jack up the front, you'll want to set up a set of blocks at the keel. This will be done as far forward of the first cross beam. When you start to pull out the trailer, you'll have to have someone there to stop you at each cross beam and you'll have to reset and re-jack your front supports until you've crossed the last beam. The easiest way is if you can support the bow with a tree and sling so you won't have to do a lot of re-blocking.........:cheers:

There is a nice flat spot on the bottom of the boat. The CG is just about where the front edge of the rear seat is. A floor jack is good… but it’s harsh. If you can find a couple motorcycle jacks… they will work perfect. They have pads on them, and lift flat with good support. You will need 2 jacks, and a support stand. Put the first jack just behind the CG, and lift the boat. At his point, you can put the stand under the rear of the boat. (but not on the ride plate extension) Then use the 2 jacks to walk the trailer out. Oh… don’t undo the cable on the bow. It will keep the trailer from shooting out if you get the balance wrong.
OK… I know this because I had to take my boat off the trailer to get the trailer weighed. I bought the boat in OH… and they don’t issue a title for small trailers… and PA does. So I had to run the paper work like it was a new, home built trailer. Yes… I could have put it in the water… but I didn’t know how long it would take to get the paperwork fixed, and I didn’t want to potently leave it for a few days
