Default Storm and a V20

My V20 is on blocks in the yard and we have a storm that could head this way. I dont even know the name of the storm or what its doing. Should i take the 18 Fisherman off the V20s trailer and load the V20 back on it? I figured i can just flip the 18 over for now. Or am I overthinking this? The V is stripped right now so she is a little light. Also have to make some screens to keep the scuppers from clogging.

Isaac should be dumping a pile of rain soon. I'd be more worried about it filling with water while on blocks and falling over.
It'd be better to sit it on the ground instead of going through the effort putting it on a trailer. Is that going to be too much trouble?

Its on a hill now. The transom is one cinder block high and the bow is two feet off the ground so it will drain. I cannot turn it around due to a fence. Really do not eant to set it on the ground then the bow will fill up with a foot of water before it gets high enough to drain out the back. Then once its on the ground its a fun task to lift it to get blocks under it again. Thinking my best option is to get her back on the trailer and just put the 18 on the ground.

If you have enough stuff to add more blocking, I'd just do that.
Don't guess you have any blocks of styrofoam laying around? They'd do a real good job.
