Guys-I need your thought about unloading my jetboat on the driveway-I am about to weld new fenders on trailer and also have it sandblasted/painted.  I would stick it in the water at the lake but with items that come up missing on my pontoon at the marina-I have fears of items disappearing off my Pantera-headers, carbs.  I was thinking about stacking old tires and sliding it off-what do you think-thanks

I would pull the engine and empty the fuel tanks.  Just to lighten it up and make it more manageable.  It's easy enough to do.  :smile30:

If you are close to Pinehurst , or Magnolia. I probably have some old tires you are more than welcome to use. :smile30: :smile30:

Jack with some rubber from tires on the transom lift off the trailer.  Aframe with straps from the bow eye on the front end and drive trailer out from under it.  A engine hoist will work as well on the front or rear if other options not available.

Thanks for the ideas-I have access to plenty of tires due to business I am in-also have a forklift here -I was think about a large strap using a piece of drill stem for a spreader across the transom and set the boat on tires-with the aid on a engine hoist on the bow-keeping my fingers crossed!!!
