Then I ran a rope through the tie-down eyes and secured it to the trailer of my 21" Triton so it couldn't move forward. Pulled the trailer out from under the boat as far as needed, then jacked up the bow and let it back down onto some cinder blocks. It stayed in this position for probably 2 weeks while I painted the trailer, rewired it and installed new bunks. I don't know if this would be appropriate for a glass boat, but maybe there's an idea in there somewhere that you can build on.
