Re: Safely removing boat from trailer with no water involved?

holy crap 109 i can't believe thats all you got holding that thing off the ground! my luck someone would lean on it and over it would go.

What do you mean?? The boat is very solid. I've been working on the interior of the boat the last couple nights with it that way. If you look at the support under the back, you can see that it is braced fore and aft with a piece of scrap 5/8 plywood. Plus, the rear and front frames both have 5/8 plywood for a skin to keep them from racking. The way it is sitting, I know I couldn't knock it over if I tried. If you could knock it over you are a much stronger guy than I am.

Gotta love that Cajun ingenuity. Just tied that sucker to a tree, popped in a few jackstands and there ya go.

Anyone ever see the Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe in them Louisiana swamps? He also had a lot of good to say for that ol boy out gettin all them crawdads.

That wouldn't be a Jack Russell in your picture, would it?

Yeah, seems like alot of them dirty jobs were in Louisiana. Crawfishing is a muddy job. I would like to get one of those airboats we have so much of down here. With the big airplane propeller, and they get on and off the trailer on land and then just drive off over the marshgrass.

Oh and the dog is the Louisiana state dog, the Catahoula hound. Loves water, boating and all; plan on teaching her to duck hunt.
