Supporting a Boat off-trailer for work?

Should I get my 16' fiberglass off the trailer for restoration, I have to put the floor in, and paint it, and re-set the nose because the foam inside's cracked. -Matt

If the trailor supports the boat good, leave it on there until the floor is replaced. Make sure the hull is not twisted or the sides squeezed in before you lock everything in place when glassing the floor. It works best to suspend them to paint the outside. If you're talking about painting the floor, just do it all on the trailor. Sam

Taking the motor off/out will help reduce strain while you're cutting out old structure.

It...doesn't have one, because the one he had was really old and I don't want to kill any fish, and he didn't know if it worked -Matt
