So fellas,

This last year I got most of the bottom paint off (had not been done since Jesus was in knee pants) and am wondering how I might easily hoist up off of trailer just enough to get under the boards on the hull?

Anyone with photos of how they did it?

Thanks
Stephen

There are some threads that address the issue, but but I don't remember who described it, so you will have to search.

Steve,
If you perform a search in the forum, you will find lots of information. I had a swing keel. I had it hoisted up on straps. Painting went fast and easy. I painted every area except where the rollers were, I then had the boat hoisted on straps over the painted areas so I can treat the areas previously blocked by the roller. Without the trailor, I was able to quickly get to all areas, including the swing keel.

The marina was kind enough to have my boat on the hoist for a full week at no charge - - part of the marina season fee.

Best,
Deric

What might be more reasonable, and what I've done, is to arrange to have your boat lifted at the end of the work-day... Then you paint the spots you couldn't get to and let them set up overnight, and the crew splashes it the next morning. (Most marinas do that spot painting for me if I leave the paint and a brush--at least I <i>think</i> they do.)

Is there a way of putting a "jack" with some 2 x 4's on the front and then alternatly on the back to get to these areas? My Marina wants to chg me $150 to put it in a hoist "momentarily"...

Dave,

Hahaha, I started painting the first week in June, after all the sailboats were placed in the lake. My boat was the second to last to get in the lake.

Because I had to wait for curing times between coats, I was painting around the clock. In some cases, I painted at 10:00pm and others at 4:00am. I was on a tight schedule because I knew I only had a week.

Granted, I just joined the marina and perhaps the owner wanted to make a good impression. I can say that, he is well loved by the folks who are part of the marina community, he is friendly, always offering to support other boaters. He is retired, and has a large social following.

His name is Ron, and he is the owner of the Oneida Lake Marina. Stop in to say hello if you are ever in the Central New York Area.

Steve, somewhere in the forum I remember reading how someone used a car jack and long 4 x4 block to lift the back of the boat up -- the front rested against the trailer rollers. I don't recall how he managed to get to the front end. Keep searching.

Although for 150 bucks, it may be worth considering when you think of safety matters. I considered lifting the boat up, and after researching decided it was too much of a hassle, and I mental pictures of the boat crushing my arm, fingers, or head if I blocked/raised it up myself.

I think the last time I had my bottom painted, the marina charged me $300, and they did it! Sounded like a deal at the time, but maybe not?
