- Welcome to this episode of DIY WATERWORLD where I walk you through How to take a boat off a trailer and put it onto stands / blocks or onto another trailer ! In this video I use a forklift to lift the bow, but you could easily use an Auto type engine hoist / cherry picker / A frame / strong roof beam / or even a strong tree limb instead! Just be sure it can handle the weight of your boat! Thanks for watching and if you have suggestions for future episodes we'd love to hear them!

I can't wait to do this when my forklift arrives 🤣
not everyone has a forklift, gantry, shop crane, consider doing another clip with outboard attached and home handyman tools. cheers
agree sir
THEN DON'T LIFT YOUR BOAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS!!!!!
Yeah.....so just get your forklift, cuz, everybody has one....and lift your boat off of the trailer....easy!!!
Thanks for the advice.
Holy crap. Simple and brilliant. I knew there had to be an easy way and this is it. Several different bow lift methods could work.
Thanks so much! And yes, it all depends on the weight of the boat and the level of creativity. Either from hoisting or jacking it up underneath , skys the limit! And sometimes it takes several lifting / blocking / resets , I’m order to inch the trailer out from under the boat. Patience is key. Cheers!
This was very helpful since I am about to begin my boat project, BUT.... can you demonstrate with out a forklift as I do not have one at home?
Use a shop crane, aka Cherry Picker, that can be had for a couple hundred from HF.
Oh hell I thought everyone had a forklift laying around you don’t 🤣
This is a great tutorial! I may need to do this sometime soon - but of course I don’t have boat jack stands or a forklift! Regardless, the physics, mechanics and process order is A++
At work we aquired a old 25 boston whaler, utility style, maybe 1970's, from the USN. Bare bones vessel, no console. It was going to be our vessel for work, diving operations. Built in a 4" wide x 4" tall wooden cap all around and added 4" D rubber to the rub-rail. Built a steering console with storage, aluminum bimini top and rear towing bitt, powered it with twin Johnson 140's. It also had a 127 gallon fuel cell built in. For engine and vessel maintenance it was easier just to lift it with one of our tugboats deck cranes. One time we lifted it, I put a load cell on and it weighed 16,000#'s
Thanks. Exactly what I needed.
LOVE IT! Any advice on what to adjust on a larger (23ft) boat with a sharper keel (a.k.a. not flat?)
hey great video!!! what would it be the biggest boat you would suggest using this procedure? can it be done with a 25foot boat? thanks
Thank you ! Thank you…
I’m gonna need to borrow your forklift 😂😂😂
Great! Now all I need is a Forklift because I don't have one for some reason unlike everyone else apparently.
Awesome! Thx
That's pretty awesome I was thinking how can I get my sailboat off the trailer thank you so much
Very cool Christina and thank you for watching / sharing this! Cheers!
@@diywaterworld you're welcome I love your videos.
Great work buy not everybody has a forklift
Thank you 🙏🏼 Very true, but you can still do the same method using other ways to lift the bow. For example hanging under a support beam in shop or garage, or a tree limb , a car engine hoist works also, all that’s needed is an overhead support that can safely hold the weight of the bow. :) hope this helps! Cheers
I've done it many times by just using the trailer jack. A car scissor-style jack also works.
I use an engine crane.
@@chiphill4856 likewise! That works well, thank you for sharing!
For swapping trailers, it's a lot simpler to just launch the boat from the old trailer and recover on the new one. You just need to figure out bunk and roller positions. This way however, is great for storage, making trailer repairs, or painting the hull.
Thx!!
Any chance you could tell me the size, type and brand of the boat stands you used? How about a link on where to get them? Thanks!
Awesome
Cool video. Part of me looks at your "lifting point" and thinks, clever it does the job.
Seriously though, don't trust that tow ball it's dodgy af. Be easy to make up a jib with a hook that you can pick up with the forks
Bravo-do you know how pros replace the axle ? with boat or without boat on trailer .
I replaced my axles on my boat trailer few months back. Had to grind few rusty bolts. But jack up the trailer and crib the frame. Lift wheels approx 2” off ground to free everything up, but not so high you struggle with lifting axle or wheels for no reason. Unbolt old axle and install new one. You can get new axles with suspension package fairly cheap. Like 250 each or so. I put 2 3500 lbs axles with 4 new wheels and tires and all grade 8 hardware for about $1100. Took about 6 hrs with 2 people. Could do it with 1 person in a long day. Only took about 2 hrs to install the new stuff. Old rusty gear allow time for.
All fine and dandy if... if I had a forklift.
Just saw this video, and could not help but wonder is that a Chris M. skiff design? Conch?
This one got you a subscribe...
Did you have to buy those stands? Or did you rent them?
Thanks for asking! I borrowed a pair from a friend. What most people do is buy a used set , use them, then sell for what they paid. There always seems to be a set on CL down here in Florida. And the prices are about half of new. What area are you located. There are some yards that will rent them to you as well. :)
@@diywaterworld I'm in Washington
I'll be checking CL. Thx for the reply
on a glass boat this size, you may as well have just lifted the whole thing with the fork lift.In reality , most people do not have a forklift to hand.
Tractor works just as well!
Now I just need to buy a forklift.
Why can I not find stands like that anywhere lol
Lemme just go get my forklift
Caveman got forklift?
Or you could go launch the boat and have a friend bring new trailer to pickup boat on the new bigger trailer. Less chance damaging your boat.
but but but I haven't got a fork lift
Who has a forklift readily available to do this???
A caveman does not have a fork lift handy at home...
Ahh yes the caveman loved their forklifts
Jjjjj with a fork lift...We don't have a fork lift... Only helpful if you own fork lift.
Cavemen didn't have forklifts
Most cave men don’t have forklifts lol. Good info anyway 👍
DYI ...everybody has a forklift at home
Not everyone has a fork lift
For a video showing how to do it without any overhead crane or hoist, here is Louis Sauzedde: th-cam.com/video/vE8l7o-c8lY/w-d-xo.html
You cheated with the forklift.
Yeah, cause we all have a forklift handy 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Horrible unrealistic video
Any chance you could tell me the size, type and brand of the boat stands you used? How about a link on where to get them? Thanks!
