trying to paint the bottom of my boat and having issues with it being on the trailer, been told pull it back a few feet paint what i can then move it forward and paint the spots i missed. I have a 23 foot cruiser my question is... I have a forklift "cant lift the whole boat" but was wondering if the 2 transom hooks in the back and the 1 eyelit on the front "winch" are strong enough to support the boat one half at a time... lift the back and paint and then lift the front and paint. this would be great since it would give me access to paint and repair the trailer as well.

Re: bottom paint issue

Though they are not made for that purpose I would think that in a smaller boat ( 14 to 18 feet ) there should be enough strength there. HOWEVER - there's no way in hell I'm sticking my arm under it.
