[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 480450, member: 21536"] Oh boy, I could measure but what fit my boat might not be the same for yours. I suggest you lower the tongue all the way down then measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the transom. Then raise the tongue all the way up and measure from the ground to the bow stem where you will put a brace. That will give you a starting point for figuring out how many 2x's you might need. By the way, I bought cheap fir 2x4x8's at Home Depot. To be honest, while the method I shared works pretty well, if I was doing this again I would consider the method BCbouy described earlier in this thread. It is also pretty straight forward and would allow me to determine how high up I wanted the boat to be for whatever work I was going to do. I would still want a cradle of some sort to support the boat if I were doing a lot of work to the trailer. Hope this helps. And congrats. Klamath makes pretty good boats. [/QUOTE]
