Thank you!! As always, you are the best teacher for "anything" Boats!!! Flat out - the best!

Too many instructional videos fail to give detail in their projects.You take the time and trouble to detail every project you undertake and i find that very beneficial. You have given me the confidence to tackle the restoration of my 30ft carvel built bermudan sloop which i am thoroughly enjoying thanks to your excellent tuition.

Nice simple safe one step at a time. Been doing that with my Albin 32+2 for a number of years. A bit unnerving the first time you do it but piece of cake after second or third time. The only part missed is to make sure that bow is raised high enough for rain drainage. Nothing like having a boat sink on land.

It's just so nice to see something like this explained so nicely. Thank you so much for posting.

I always thought looking at the screw jacks that it would be much safer if there were a ratchet strap or something running between them so they couldnt slip out. Was born and raised just outside Worcester MA. Its so awesome watching your videos. Feels like home again.

Sailor for 50 years. This guy knows what he's doing!

Nice boat. F. L. Tripp & Sons was my home yard as a pup. I used to watch the old salts as they put these boats together. 50 years by now..

That video very clearly explains a procedure that can be dangerous if not done right. I have done the very same process with a 4 ton, fixed keel sailboat. Because of the keel, there was less stability. Any time I was under the boat, my most trusted assistant stood with his fingertips on the side of the boat, ready to warn me if anything went wrong. It never did. I have seen the wheels removed from the trailer and replaced with bare rims, and the trailer rolled out on bare rims, when clearance was a problem.

That's called old school use what you can 101. Great work.

Well done. I pulled a 21 foot boat off a trailer many years ago the very same way. Getting the boat back ON the trailer is the real challenge - same thing in reverse.

you should also put chains between your stands, especially those forward two because they are likely to push away from the hull if anybody is moving around on-board. The Brownell powerboat stands you used should have key holes for 3/16 chain on the flat top heads.

Quite nice, thank you good sir for sharing these safe and effective ways, patience is the virtue that spares calamity.

Another idea to help might be to shift your chocks forward in front of the wheels instead of removing them completely, and then if the driving forward didn't quite go to plan the chocks would stop the trailer before the centre jacks got knocked over. Great job tho!

Best video on this process that I've seen. Nicely done.

Very experienced & well explained, not a 1-2 on/off situation

I really needed this information. Thank you so much for posting it.

The boat you’re working on is very interesting. Can we see the whole boat. Seems to have a built in lift chine. Looks like it would be a nice Bass boat.

Most of the boat yards I've been in require that pairs of poppet stands be chained together, when a boat is put up on the hard. I might skip that, if it was only going to be a day or three, and the weather forecasts look good, but if high winds came up, I'd really want the chains in place. And I'd want to make sure the boat isn't on ground that will get spongy if it rains. I might go as far as to trench around the boat, to make sure runoff doesn't erode the support.

That’s a great video very well explain but the only issue I have I have a World cat catamaran I still haven’t found any videos on how to Properly remove it from the trailer onto stands

That went easy and safely to get the boat off the trailer.

Very very nice work as always!!!👌💯👍

a few tips, instead if using backstands on the midship-bow, get two 3" stands, along with some 5inch by 5inch wood chips to go underneath the stands. also, the midship-bow stand toppers should be horizontal instead of vertical, so the topper doesnt snap on the top. other then that, very good video!!! -from someone who does this all day

Did this with my 19' Potter that was in the driveway, not connected to the truck. Think it made it easier to lower the trailer's jack, thereby raising the stern, before placing the jackstands under the stern.

Have watched many of your videos. Very informative and presented in a very easy to understand format. It has helped me more than you know. Thanks a million!! Keep up the good work.

This is a great video, I was looking for exactly thing kind of information to stop me from trying to do it myself.

The other thing to mention is to ensure your trailer tires are properly inflated before doing this. Most likely since it will be several days or weeks till the boat goes back on, you may service the trailer and tires the height of the trailer might change.

Those Long trailers were made in my home town! Interesting to see one on you tube.

great information thank you for the video, what a beautiful hull.

This was always the most nerve-wracking part of the job when I did this kind of stuff over 20 years ago. It always looks so strange to me balancing up like that. Then I got to climb underneath and work on it. then jump up inside and sleep in it. LOL

You made it look easy Cap

We are learning a lot, thank you God Bless you

A great instruction.... many thanks

PRO....!! sweet boat!!

Good Video, Thanks

Pretty much how I do things, but good to know I'm not too far out of line. This video was 10 yrs old when I replied, so it stands the test of time and helping folks.

I wouldn't attempt this w/o Louis at my side, or someone with his experience, at least for the first time. Kind of amazing that it is possible at all. What kind of boat is that? It has pretty lines ( for a motor boat ) any chance we can get Louis to show this trick using, say, a 30' sailboat?

Beautiful boat

Great Info and videos Louis. Well Done

Sweet, I am about to take my Sea Runner Trimaran's main hull off its trailer, and while I have done it before, you have some refinements I can use.

Great job, thank you.

Nice. Now i just need a boat

Thanks nice to see a pro at work.

The opposite jack stands should be chained together to keep the stands from kicking out...standard practice

Good video!👍🏻

Very helpful. Thank you!

Masterful.

Well done, Lou and crew. To be honest, even with an old salty pro bracing it up, I would still be nervous getting under it, but not as nervous as climbing my 240+ pound self up into the boat. I sure it would be fine, but I've seen how much a boat rocks from me stepping off a dock onto it, I know it's supported on both sides, but I'd still be nervous.

Is it necessary to maintain the hull in a level position? I didn't see any attention paid to keeping port and starboard at the same height - or maybe he just selected level ground

Do you use connecting chains on the fore and aft stands for added security incase they were to kick out?

Wow!, whats the bow being held by? Seems the boat is almost balanced on the forward jacks! At 6:14, it looks tipping ...

Cant do that with Chinese Stands.....Brownell is the KEY

There should be a chain between the front poppets so they can't kick out

Nice Job!

You're a braver man than I.

I would measure from the jack to the next crossmember on the trailer then put a chock on the ground that amount infront of the wheel then you cant knock the jack over whenyou pull forward.

I think he said worried about the boat sliding off the rear stands, why not put a strap from one to the other

Awesome info, thank you Sir!!

Why not use YARD ARM boat jacks. Great jacks designed for this vary purpose.

Excellent! How about the reverse? How easily can the boat be put back onto the trailer?

Very nice job. Well done. Good video.

Well done,thanks!

Nice job, well done!

excellent job.

great video. any tips on used hydraulic boat trailers? been hauling cars for too long. would like to get into boats.

gonna use this! Thanks

How would you go about doing this with a 70s 28 foot Luhrs ? 6 ton 11 ft beam

How to take the steering out of a b 7:12 oat

surprisingly chains weren't used under the hull to connect one stand with the other.. stability

I recently picked up a 1989 SeaRay 340 sundancer but wont have a trailer till spring, but my friend with a 33 foot thompson has a trailer. Any ideas on how i could use this technique to put it on styrofoam for winter?

How can I do this in a barn

What make and model and year is that boat??? Anybody

Nice video sir.

Be just as easy to drown myself . Lol 😂 lord have mercy . Masterclass (I’ve never had a license or had a boat lol ) new to me . Just keep the boat on the trailer mr bean or Lucille lmao 🤣 school just doesn’t prepare you for real life like this .

Me and my dad built those boats for F. L. Tripp

I have a catalina 250 with a centerboard.. Do u apply same operation to get it off its trailer?

What make and model is this boat?

how much does that boat weigh?

Why not a long wood beam across the bow end Jack on both sides just pull it right out

That's how I was taught to do it.

Beautiful Boat, what make an model is it. Where might I find one for sale?

Beware of the "high jacks"!!!! lol

When the trailer first came out, I was mentally tiptoeing round the boat. Whispering, even. Hoping to God the dog was tied up.

Lifting frame and hoist is far easier!

by a strong wind the boat will blow away

Do you know a solution for earthquake country?

My insurance states i must Unhitch truck and roll out trailer by hand.

l think that tree is to close to the boat.

I don't even own a boat.

Not everyone has access to those stans an thoose timbas. 🤣

Needed: at least 60'-80' of level ground, a friend who works for free and can follow directions without wrecking the program, 2 Jack stands at least 4'-8', 2 big bottle Jack's, lots of large wood blocks... Oh yeah, chains would finish it off.

Did u learn this from your dad?

dose new england ozs new how to handle boots in da yodds

his hand signals are not good for driver

Nothing worse than watching your spotter not watch the spot you need watched.

This whole video is bull

This looks so incredibly dangerous.

Looks moody ...bet it could so easily blow over

hire a damn crane
