Looking to get the boat bottom painted, and would rather get it done by a pro than do it myself.
Any advice would be apreciatted.

DIY :p , that way you'll be happy with the work. Just did mine yesterday, got my crew together, knocked it out pretty quickly.

I would Rich, but I dont have the jacks for getting it off the trailer, and if I rig something I could have a major headache if something were to go wrong

I guess the easiest thing would be to take it to a marina with a travel lift, lift it, paint it, put it back on the trailer and paint where the straps were.

Dan, I have the two jack stands that you can use for the front. I lowered the front of the trailer down to the ground using a floor jack, then blocked the back up tight. Jacked up the front till I could use the trailer jack again, cranked that up as high as it could go then put the boat jacks towards the bow end and screwed them up until I had room between the boat and the rollers. If you want to borrow them, give me a call.
