The tongue of the trailer sticks out too far to approach it directly from the front.
I’m thinking I will lift from the sides (using the fork truck) in the front and block it up on the cross-members between the toons and then do the same for the back. This will allow me to get it blocked up and pull my trailer out from under the boat. But, will it hurt/bend the frame since the toons will be suspended without any support? Maybe use jacks under those blocks to let it down on blocks/supports under the toons?
No one has replied with my theory of picking up on it from the middle… of course lifting more toward the rear considering the weight of the outboard.
Would this approach be feasible? Or, which approach is likely to cause any damage or the least damage?
