Ok, not sure if I can do this or not, but I need to paint the bottom of my boat, it has never had paint before. Any good DIY instructions out there? What products do you recommend?
The boat is a trailered Rinker 290 (11,100 LBS dry, around 12,500 as it sits now, 29 foot). The boat is in my yard and is on a trailer. Any DIY trick to get it up off the trailer safely and cheaply?
The only thing I come up with is to lower the tongue jack all the way down, and then put cinder blocks under the back end. Then raise the tongue jack all the way, then use a bottle jack and raise it a bit more, then put cinber blocks under the keel.
Of course I would put would between the boat and the blocks. This should give me a few inches I would think, which should be enough. My question is, can the cinder blocks hold the weight? I would put 4 stacks unber the back and about 3-4 on the keel.
Do I need to do anything for the front to balance the boat since most of the weight is in the back and I will have 4 supports back there? Any ideas that are better than this? Do you think that this will work or do I need to explore other oppertunities?
