Hi i was wondering if anyone has any input or experience lifting a large 28' pontoon boat off a trailer? i need to completely repair the trailer and its pretty hard with the boat sittin on it. Its a very large boat n worried about creating pressure points when lifting it. Its gettin about that time in Florida to take it out and this is only the beginning of gettin it working good again..

wow! thats a big 'toon
putting it in the water would be the easyest,but if thats not possible.
block up the back,by lowering the tounge all the way down
(which will raise the back)place blocks and wood to support the corners, pull the trailer out S L O WL Y maybe 6 ft. and block it again,pull some more and block another 6ft. untill you have the trailer all the way out.
try and place the blocking as to not interfear with the trailer.
