What is the best way to lift a 16.5 Alumacraft with a 75hp Yamaha and steering? I need to get it up off the Keel Rollers so I can replace them. I hit some rocks and need to sand the Keel smooth as it is cutting up the rubber on the Keel Rollers to a point that they (4) need to be replaced. Taking it to the lake is not an option at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

I've done it using blocks of wood and a floor jack. You only need to get it up about ? inch.
