reel, I ain't pickin or anything.
You done had it off the trailer and on stilts I think for the third time. The first couple of times I could keep my mouth shut but I'm seeing you have a need. Hell everybody needs one. I'm terribly concerned for you and it will make your life easier. You can justify it by hanging a swing on it or at least getting Hammer to suggest a swing type, even put lattice on top to be a yard ornament. You can even use it for the boats storage location when on the trailer. You really need one.

hey Reel, where do you put the cheese in that mouse trap?
Tsubaki, you're on to something there, a little lattice work, a couple of tekki torches, a few lawn chairs, and you have a perfectly camouflaged boat lift/engine hoist/cab lift and the best things is the rational for it to your wife, " but honey, I built it for you"

My point exactly spare!
And no you don't depend on the hoist. Block the boat when working on it and even if just sitting there between work sessions. We are usually blessed with blocks of foam rescued from the creek when they would come loose from docks in the area. Even lowering it to the ground is preferred instead of just hanging there.

you guys work too hard.... I simply tie the stern off and drag the trailer out while tossing blocks or tires under the keel.... I let it flop over on one side while I work and rock it to the other side by hand when I'm ready....
Then winch it back on... course.... not everyone has a full roller trailer ;)

Bunks never stopped me from dragging one off the trailer by tying it to a small oak. Just place a few tires under her at the proper moments. Flats boat is on the ground now, trying to refurbish the trailer. Aluminum trailers flex something fierce both on and off.
Bunk trailers rule the south. As a yardboy at a boat dealership I always kept a can of spray silicone handy. I suspect those rollers require some lubrication. My dumb old bunks just lay there and wait. Umm, Reel, you got work right there.. GLOSanding.
