I need to get my newly acquired, previously kept in the water, Capri upside down so I can strip the bottom paint. My trailer can be tilted, so my plan was to try to slide the boat off the traler, stand it on end long enough to spin it around then lower back on to the trailer topside down.
Another idea is to get some 4 x 4s, slide the boat off the trailer bottom down, then roll it over having the 4 x 4s run the length of the boat to keep it off the ground (to keep from damaging any parts above the deck.)
Of course I'm planning this maneuver with the help of several strong guys.
Can anyone forsee certain doom in attempting to carry out either of these two maneuvers? Am I asking to irrevocably damage my boat and / or hurt people?
Has anyone worked on their hull before and can provide a better solution?
Advice much appreciated!
