    Best to use straps fore and aft, then lift boat off trailer.

    Yes,
    I built a rolling carriage that goes under the flat section of the hull between the drain plug and transom.
    $40 in treated 4x4 and some casters.


    Lower the trailer jack all the way and it should be built to just slide under the boat.

    Lift the bow using straps through the bow eye. The boat should bear weight on the carriage and lift completely off the trailer. Once the boat is high enough raise the trailer jack to level and pull the trailer out.

    I say not many guys have a lift for boat because I have not seen a video of a guy crushed while waxing the bottom of his bass boat .

    Great Idea! I am going to have to build one of these.

    Rated for over 5k, and have done plenty of gel work using this system.
    It's a system made by Brownell Boat Systems, look it up.
