So I nead to fix some stuff on my trailer. Slip rentals in my area aren't cheap. Whats the best way to get my boat off the trailer for a week or so so I can work on it. Thanks.

Do you have access to a tree, or a Motor Cherry Picker? If so, you can build a Roll Around Cradle for about $60 bucks using pneumatic casters from Harbor Freight and sit the boat on it.

Steal shopping carts from homeless people and make homemade casters! Only cost me about 30 bucks to build my cradle! I don't recommend stealing carts from homeless people though!

That points me in the right direction. It will have to stay in the garage while I pull the trailer out from underneath it. If it helps its a
16ft tri-hull.
