[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 364056, member: 7076"] Take two 2 x 4's and 4 jack stands. Lower the front jack on the trailer, which will raise the rear end. Slide the 2 x 4 under the boat and put a jack stand under the 2x4 near the rear. Raise the front jack all the way and repeat for the front. Lower the front jack halfway, and now your boat should be supported on the 2x4s and jack stands. You may need an extra set of jacks or stands to slide the trailer out from under the boat. Or simply paint the areas that will rest on the trailer bunks first an then go about removing the 2x4's and painting the rest. I've done this before, and it allows you to easily do it by yourself. Process can be done with a car jack and jack stands too. Easiest to paint the hull by taking the motor off and flipping the boat instead though. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
