To turn the boat over, I first lifted it off the trailer using 3-1 ton chain hoists, then rolled the trailer out. Next, I lowered it onto the shop floor - ( I placed 4 x8 sheets of 2" styrofoam on the concrete to protect it from damage ) Finally using the same hoists, I flipped it over. It went very smoothly and actually didn't take very long. In order to get the boat a bit higher to be more comfortable to work on, I then hoisted it up onto rolling dollies and cribbing.
