Another way

My method of removing the boat from the trailer for applying bottom paint is similar ... lowering the trailer tongue to the ground to elevate the stern. I fabricated a metal stand to slide under the stern then lift the bow with a small electric hoist to clear the trailer. Trailer is then pulled forward into the garage. After the paint is dry, just reverse the process and the two 1.5 x 6 inch unpainted areas where the stern was supported can be easily painted since they overhang the trailer bunks. The milk crate and jack shown under the boat are for safety purposes.
