I just purchased a 2003 Speedster 160 and the previous owner had it on a lift most of the time. This caused 2 spots where the lift and bunkers sit. I was thinking about lifting off trailer to try and clean.

Has anyone lifted their boat up off the trailer? If so what did you use?

Thanks,

Brad

I never lifted ours off the trailer, typically I would just bring a wash mit and a pair of goggles with me to the lake. When the boat is in the water, get under there and give it a good scrub down.

That was my second option, however, since the air temp is only in the 60s here yet and the water probably in the 50s I will have to be patient.

Yeah I would say just wait it out.

You could use a hydraulic or screw jack. Use some scrap wood between the plate of the jack and the boat bottom.

Yeah, and put the bottle jack on the trailer. That's what I did.
