[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 111634, member: 123"] Got any pics of the boat to post? If it were me, and there was a way to get the boat off the trailer w/o damage, I'd build a tempoaray skid (to match the hull shape) with carpeted "cradles" to sit on. I'd have a length-wise 4x4 or something to that effect to rest the keel on (for fore & aft support), and have the rear bottom/front hull side supports coming off of that. You could use some stiff cardboard to make a template of the hull shape and then transfer that design to some wood. We built a couple (many years ago) for two 26' fiberglass motor whaleboats that we carried on my first ship, but we had cranes and the tools/mat'l to work with then. [/QUOTE]
