Thought some of you might be interested in how I removed my Outrage from it's trailer to barrier coat/bottom paint. I simply lowered the trailer tongue to the ground, attached the two 4x6's to the rear lifting eyes with 1/2" bolts, raised the bow back up with a bottle jack, high enough to put the weight on the 4x6's, and removed the trailer in steps, using blocks under the front of the keel. Boat is just about totally clear to work on. By the way, I put the blocks under the rear of the keel just as a precautionary measure when I'm not working on the boat. blackduckgallery.com/images/outie1.jpgoutie1.jpg
