hey im thinking about restoring the bottem of a baja which has been beached on rocks and pretty much beat to heck.
Does anyone know where to get some boat stands to set this puppy up. its only a 23 foot boat. I have heard use the cinder block idea, but to have enough room for me to get underneath of it would need alot of blocks. seems like stands might be a little better
any ideas.

well i would love to flip the boat but i dont know if its feasable. For one this boat weighs 3300 lbs dry. Most boats they are talking about in the paint or how to section are bare with no engine etc. Plus they are alot smaller. I really dont want to take this boat appart in order to flip. Am I wrong or is their way to flip a boat like this while all together. Also what mounting points would you use and what kind of tool would rotate it. Is there something like a huge stand for flipping them like a big engine or frame jig.
thanks for the help
