Just got my first boat :) 83 20.4 cuddy. Knowing i had to replace the deck\stringers when i bought it, i need some advice on how to properly keep the boat straight while on the trailer. I do not have a level place to put the boat on stands. I was thinking about putting 2 stands on each of the stern corners and let the bow keel rest on the trailer roller. The upper 2x4 will keep the boat from tilting. Will this be acceptable while i tear out the flooring and stringers. I am not seperating the top of the boat off, so that should help keep its shape. Its also a cuddy, so that will help with the shape. Let me know what you think. I know this will be a long dirty job, but i dont mind the work knowing it will be done right.... I only paid $250... The trailer is worth more. lol. Thank you for any suggestions.

If your not popping the top and you keeping it on the trailer then I don't think you going to have any trouble keeping it straight....

Just get going and not stop... If you take a break you'll add at least a year to the completion time!...

Yeah... Seriously!! I went for a glass of tea once and it cost me about 6 months!! :D
