I have thought of doing this, but I just dont like the idea of my boat someplace that I cant see it for a few days. I need to do to much work to it to take it to a ramp. So I am planning on lifting the boat up and setting it on 4X4's with them running from one side to the other. The 4X4's will be setting on Concret Blocks with a solid block on top. After the trailer is out, I am going to put a 4X4 in the middle of the 4x4's down to the concret drive, for extra support. I will take ratchet straps and hook to the cleats of the boat and they will run around the 4x4's and back up to the cleats and tighten down to keep the boat from rocking from side to side. I am going to drive stakes deep in to the ground and run straps from the back of the boat to the stakes to keep it from tilting forward or a 2x4 stand under the strap hook at the bow to keep it from tilting forward. With this being a tin boat, a 17-6 Lowe w/70 HP Johnson, I am thinking that the treated 4x4's should suport it. The big thing I am worried about is the wind.Originally Posted by MagikSmallie
What do you think of this plan of attack?
