I have a 2008 sv16. I think there might be a hole in the boat where it sits on the bunk. So I cannot see if there is. Is there a way to jack up that one side to see if there is a hole. I thought about taking a floor jack and putting a 4x4 on it and putting the 4x4 against the hull and jacking it up to inspect. My biggest question is would that hurt the hull of the boat?
Should work just fine.
Find where the best area with the most surface area is to Jack it from with the least Jack extension possible and still be able too lift it to get a look. Spread the weight on the biggest pieces of doubled up 3/4 or 5/8 or whatever you have plywood spanning/ protecting as big of and area on the hull as possible within reason, block up the Jack too meet the plywood,put something with some grip between the hull and the plywood if you think you need it or just a piece of carpet for protection. I wouldn't stand a 4×4 on end though.Originally Posted by Sshorter

Ok thanks for the info guys. I wasn't going to stand the 4x4 straight up I was going to lay it flat. So that's it's stretching across like a 6ft area. But I will probably do the plywood method.
Id jack it up with a block under the jackplate if it were mine

Don't think that he has one. But if he doesStill gotta get the length of the bunks off the length of the hull to get a good inspection so you most likely would have to support the bow of the boat to be thorough, Jackplate or not. Jacking from the side mostly should be no problem, depending on how many bunks but should give you a good look at the suspect areas

Thanks guys and it does not have a jack plate it only has a 50hp motor on it. Might not be the fastest but cranks Everytime. I will probably try it tomorrow when I'm off.
