I am working on a boat and trailer I got from a friend. I several questions. First, I need to repair some of the wood and carpeting on the trailer...how do I do that? I know I have to have the boat off to get to it, but how am I supposed to do that? The only time the boat is off is when it is in the water....and I can't very well park the boat and take all my tools to the lake to work on it. Am I supposed to find a way to jack up the boat...put it on something to hold it up...then drive the trailer out...how to I do that? Secondly, I have to register the boat and trailer...DMV says that they need to know the weight of the boat, trailer, and then both together. Once again, I know I can weigh the boat and trailer at a sand/dirt pit and use there scales, there in lies the other problem, what/where do I do with the boat while I get just the trailer weighed???? Then finally, I have already replaced the hitch, I got one that fit my ball and the old one was bent. I then rewired the lights. The next step so to speak is to sand all of rust off and find a way to prime and paint it. I also know that I will have to replace the jacklift also...I will get to that much later in
