Loading from Block to Trailer 101

[Skools Out]

First Line up the trailer by hand then wet the runners be bunks or rollers helps load easier.





Take a floor jack and center it mid ways back to five ft from the bow, then jack the boat off the blocks in the front


then start to wench the trailer under the boat.


Notice the back is still supported by jack stands in the case of my boat usually blocks.


Once the boat trailer is to the floor jack let the jack down which will lift the front of the trailer.


But before letting the jack all the way down set the front blocks between the rear blocks and the trailer


Start to wench the boat on the trailer it will have the trailer still lifted up in the front. *

Keep wenching the boat on to the trailer the trailer will finally come down to the ground slowly then remove all the blocks from the boat. It will wench the rest of the way on easily now. then tow it home lol.


Notice i changed the trailers wench post and bow stop. That was so the boat would move 3 inches forward and would work better on heigth for the front of the boat.

Thanks so much Lord Skools, you make it look very simple, but I guess this is why they call you Lord.

one question though, why do you move the front blocks back in picture 8?

Skool, I can see that workin' on a stripped down hull w/no motor, but how do it do onna fully outfitted boat (weight ???)...?

[Skools Out]

doesn't matter i did my 21 with an outboard on it complete. The front blocks i put there so it wouldn't stress the hull on the end of the trailer. Plus i didn't want it to pick the front of the trailer up like 4 ft off the ground.

Here's the 21 when bought. It is a foam filled boat too. It's a heavy boat. That Sea Ox was on the ground too when i got it. It was complete and laying on the ground totally.

Good stuff, Skools...you picked a good example...I KNOW the Sea Ox is HEAVY BOAT...they shoulda picked up the phrase, ''like a rock'' before Chevy did...nice work on that boat... ;) ;D...

I was thinkin, "Like a cinder block" ;)

oh and btw - thanks skool for the demo. I must say, I hope I never ever have to use that great info though! I don't ever want to work on a boat again!! Its not in my blood - I'd rather be fishin!

Thanks Skools Out.

One day I will achieve your level of knowledge.

Or at least I'll be able to put a boat on a trailer thats sitting on the ground.

Hey, Is that a good commercial license on that Ox?
