boat stands

[devon]

I am looking at painting the bottom of my boat and rebuilding my trailor over the fall and winter. Is there anyone out there that has any boat stands that I can borrow rent or otherwise for an extended period of time?

I do not have system for you to use but if you go to www.boatingtheinlandnw.com and click on the directory and go to either the TRANSPORTING Heading or STORAGE Heading you may be-able to find someone in these sections that would help you. Call the Resort Boat Shop (under the storage heading) they may give you some ideas. Transporting/hauling companies may also have something for you to rent or some ideas. Let me know if you do find someone that can help you and I will put that on this site.

I am currently having someone get me quotes on building me a system I can have at my store to lift trailer-able keelboats up for bottom jobs, etc. The plan is to rent the lift at my store. I get a lot of people that want to paint the bottom of their boat or check their swing keel but have no way of doing it.
