Whats the best way to lift a boat from the trailer...

Up or Off

I would say an "A" frame over the bow with a winch to lift the bow. Then use an engine lift hooked to the engine and raise the rear.

you supply the beer....i'll come up..... and when we get drunk enough we will surely figure it out

Rivertard Sr and Jr helped me pull the Stevens off the trailer with just a cherry picker, 2 slings (3" ratcheting tie down straps actually), 4 tires and a floor jack. Piece of cake.

Think I can put a tow strap around the 4 point engine mount and lift from there with a cherry picker?
