If you only need to raise the bow raise the front of the trailer a few feet then build up your blocking directly under the center of the hull And put a 4 or 6' 2X10 on it, shim it to the correct angle and lower the trailer so the boat rests on it. I tried doing a quick drawing as an example DON'T laugh! OK, it's funny enough to laugh at. See the picture of the big (55') cat to see how little support you need. Just distribute the weight. Bob
