17 to 20' bass boats are a chore to manhandle off of the trailer. Turning them upside down, back rightside up, etc.<br /> I have a "v" stand built out of 2x4's that works great to set them on "like portable bunks with casters".<br /> When upside down I just use jackstands with casters.<br /> I recently got this idea to build something that looks similar to a car engine stand. (cept LOTS BIGGER).<br />Rather than bolting an engine to the stand by the bellhousing bolts......I'd just bolt the boat to the stand using the motor mount holes at the transom.<br /> I guess the question is: Do MOST later model bass boats have a transom strong enough to hold the boats weight? OR, has anybody done this before?
