Main stringer on port side in cabin

Anyone in the Cleveland area have a few screw jacks I could use for a few weeks. I’d like to put a few more under it to make sure it’s supported real good before I glass new stuff in

I have four sitting not being used if you need them.

what type of trailer do you have. mycos are built for the bottom and support it fully, if you have one let it sit on there. you can level it with jacks and have full support. When mark at rage did my tanks and he cut the floor out the boat it snapped back into shape, whomever did the second set of tanks put it together under a bind.

Make sure you support that hull well. The trailer is not enough.

OK so this is been my biggest concern now that every stringer is cut out of this boat right now I have 2 stands at the far back 2 stands midship in the keel sitting on a block in one spot towards the front my trailer is a bottom support bunk trailer that does seem to have a lot of areas where it supports the boat is it best to put it back on trailer if I do that I cannot use stand anywhere or do I just use for stands for side and try to support the Keal. My concern is what if the trailer is a bit unleavened or not built to square the boat ran very well before and the bottom is blue printed so I would like to not glassy hook back into it lol I was thinking just a bunch of stands get a supported and go from there

Frick if I can use them That would be great!!!

What I did was probably overkill.

I used 12 stands and supported the keel in three places.
I only worked one section of the boat at a time, so I didn't remove all of the inner hull support.

use the trailer as your base as the full trailer will be much sturdier with cross gussets, or see if someone has a myco for a top gun that you can borrow or rent. put the trailer on the stands (tires off ground, or pressure off them) to create a solid platform. level the trailer on the stands, similar to a frame stand in a car shop.
