HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU

I was down at Nacimiento last week and had motor issue's so I had to walk the boat on the trailer. No problem but when I got home and parked it in the garage I noticed the boat was leaning to one side a little.

Well after looking around I noticed a piece of driftwood about 2" around got stuck in between the boat and one of the middle running boards. I need to get it out becouse there is a big bow in the board but is there a way to do it without hauling it to a ramp?

You can use a bottle or floor jack with a piece of 2x4 or 2x6 under the boat and just get the pressure of the drift wood to remove it. Unstrap the boat first.

Use a jack in the stern witn a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 but do not unhook the bow, boat might slide back. I had that happen once.

Naci ramps in the spring! Now go and get all the small debris out of the cooling system.
