Awesome job Wayne and great video! Love the “realness” you share with us during the process. You did it bud!! And thanks so much for the shoutout in the beginning, much appreciated amigo! Can’t wait to see how this project comes along! Cheers!
After the stern was on the blocks you should have chained the stern of the boat to a tree or the base of a stake behind the boat, no slack. Then when you pulled the trailer forward the boat wouldn’t pull forward with the trailer. Then proceeded with your original plan. Much simpler and faster than how you did it.
That's what you call hillbilly engineering do the best you can with what you got to work with. Trying not to loose a finger in the process. Good job Wayne.
I plan to just drop my boat into the water while I work on the trailer.. I've had to put cars on my car trailer that don't have suspension and/or wheels, can't put those in the water. So what I've done is jack up and pull trailer forward until the cross member meets the jack, then move the jack behind the cross member. Very time consuming process. The other method I've used is a long cross 4x4 that I can support outside the trailer. Not so easy with a boat unless its a flat bottom.
Weight of the boat should be resting on blocks and a 2×4 on top, under the keel beneath the transom. Side blocking are only for support and to stabilize The boat would be more stable and safer to b we under there moving the jacks...safety is priority.
You can tie the stern to the tree behind the boat and drive fwd slowly and put the blocks down after going fwd a few feet. Put some type of plywood of old carpet pieces between the boat and the block to not scratch the hull. It should slide off pretty easily and to put it back on the trailer, I used the winch on the trailer and I disconnected the trailer from the truck so it pulls the trailer under the boat.
Naw that’s not shady here where I live we would call that Sand Mountain engineering 😂 great job ! I bet there are some parts for a Mustang Gt laying somewhere around your house 😂 just kidding buddy great video !
I just got a 12' fiberglass boat but they brought it to me on the bed of their truck. Now I have to figure out how to get it on the trailer when I get it... Probably going to have to pay some people to help me lift it. I can't even lift one side to put something under it.
3:10, sound plan, but if you block up the back, then crank the trailer hitches to the sky, you can block the bow up that way, an move the trailer ahead, block up the "mid-ship" then ahead one more time to re block the bow up and the ti be good, but I just started the vid
Launch onto the grass and roll it upside down for an easier time to antifoul the bottom.This will require a helper or twowhen winching back onto a new trailer. Viewing with interest from Westcoast Vancouver Island!CHEERS
You did get to wiegh it, didn't you? I have a Glastron Trihull from the Sixties in that length, it was so heavy with water logged, but now it is so light.
@@WayneTheBoatGuy if you had made 4 tripods about 3_4 foot higher when opened than the boat, set up in pairs on either side, possibly with a brace across if it is to be up long term, and used ratchet straps underneath, the boat could be lifted and left hanging to be worked on or until you were ready to wer it onto another trailer.
Front part looked a complete faff. Rear part was fine but a A frame at the bow to hang the boat would have been a one hit system. Jim's little boat ( TH-cam channel ) is also a good method and he gets a 22 foot yacht off his trailer.
It is on a trailer now? If it's up on blocks like this one, I would try to tip it on it's side and then lower it upside down with either 2-3 other humans or some means of mechanical assistance. Then jack it up on each "corner" to rest on the gunnels.
VERY unsafe way to do this. The blocks should be doubled up and staggered as you stack them. Never stack them straight up, there’s no stability. You could kick it over. Please, don’t do this.

And thank you for your wise words!
Wayne: easily my favorite part about your channel is that you’re figuring it out as your go in all your videos. You’re not an expert. I can relate 😊
Thank you! Some of this stuff can seem really scary until we actually give it a try.
saw this in the boat facebook group!! nice video
Great job Wayne ! Love your videos, can't wait to see more on this boat and getting it in the water.
Thanks - there's part of me that wished I had plopped it in the water before pulling it from the trailer - just to see how good/bad it is!

That probably would have been easier!
Moving the cross brace was the clincher I was surprised how far you could roll forward after good job brother
Your neighbors must love you.
We ALL have boats!
Tip: use large foam blocks to rest the boat on. Benefits are that it molds to the boat and it doesn't damage anything. I used them on my pontoon boat
That's what you call hillbilly engineering do the best you can with what you got to work with. Trying not to loose a finger in the process. Good job Wayne.
Nice job Wayne, I enjoy your videos 📹. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks!
Looks like there are lots of trees around. Could you have used a rope & pulley around a branch to lift the front of the boat up?
Unfortunately all the limbs are very high and not close enough to the spot I needed to put the boat.
I actually loved the music, kinda reminded me of muscle beach bingo or gidget
You could build a pair of a-frames with a 4x4 across them and hoist the bow

woulda made sure the bunks were wet, if not oiled up a bit.....otherwise, well done....
Congratulations

That seems like it would work quite well!
Excellent work with what you had on hand.
I still say flip her over. Which is easier said than done.
you could have a fan meet-up, coupled with a block party tug of war.
Thanks!

What kind of boat is that. Looks like a good start for a good fishing skiff.
It's a Boston Whaler Nauset - so yeah it would make a great fishing skiff!
Well that's a bit screechy! But the thing about it I have to do that with my boat real soon. Thanks Wayne!

If you have some jacks and boards, and some imagination you might be able to work it out.

Good job👍
I like seen videos in the same area I live in
Why didn't you put it on the ground? If it is on the ground you can flip it and work on the bottom.
Because apparently it’s harder to put back on a trailer when it’s on the ground.
0:30
Yup that would bt my first option but have blocks laid out get the ol'girl to land on, maybe some tires fer cushion
I can't say enough about a elcheapo $50 12v winch, makes a pile of things easy to move

No, unfortunately we didn’t weigh it.
Lol it’s Luke’s trailer.
4 tripod and 2 two inch rachet straps strung between them underneath the boat. Done. Wish you'd asked me first.
Yeah I don't have any nice boat jack stands around here... yet!

Yeah - I would have had to buy materials to build an A frame though - and I was trying to avoid that
@@WayneTheBoatGuy Fair enough ... I am forgetting some guys do not keep a good selection of timbers and fixings in stock .
Just give the guy another hundred or too for the trailer and skip all this hassle
This was a special circumstance - I only got the boat because a friend needed a trailer
You should get some wood and make a boat cradle .. then you can simply slide it off
I need to flip my Nauset so I can redo the bottom. Any ideas ??

@Wayne The Boat Guy Alright ! Sounds easier said than done though...lol
I think this is how the pyramids were built
lol
I block boats for a living at a boatyard on the eastern shore of MD. If you have any questions about blocking boats next time, reach out to me
It worked. Good job but it looks dangerous. I would not want to be under that boat when it is jacked up like that.
1:35
It's not tomany boats , it's not enough space
That was a efford to get it on blocks.

Should've rented a forklift.........
