Re: Harmony HMD19
You have a good break and enjoy the planning for what you need to do next year. It looks like we may have our first snow in the mountains this week here in NC. Won't amount to much and the ground is to warm for it to stick.

Hi Tom,
You bet; I need to do something this winter; tidy my boat file, plan a kayak ...not sure.
Well, the snow is coming, no doubt Seems we just got over the last winter
Take care in the mountains, Tom. The only place to be.

Re: Harmony HMD19
Hey guys...been lurking...nice builds !
So, any ideas of how to raise this boat to get her on a trailer sitting on her craddle ?
Been thinking about this thing. 10 ton capacity and long reach Any thoughts welcomed. Just looking at the cradle, maybe jack up one side, then the other with blocks from the skid part ? Or since here is a slope where I build, I can maneuver the trailer (hitched) to align the bunks more or less with the cradle and gently pull her in ?

Re: Harmony HMD19
Hydraulic jack and lots of cribbing. Will not be hard but it will take a little time. If you have a 4x6 wider than the trailer you can jack up the front half high enough to slide the trailer 2/3s under the boat and you got it made from there. Looking forward to seeing it slide off the trailer and into some water.

I had never done this either but don't know if my method will help you. I am fortunate to have a small tractor and with my neighbours tractor as well, we lifted the boat high enough to get the trailer under it. Used the bow eye and two trailer tie down eyes on the transom as lift points. If you have buddies with tractors (or any other lifting type equipment) offer fishing trips in exchange for help... Free beer works too. That equipment working on the tree in your picture would probably make short work of it.
Hydraulic jack and cribbing as per Fuzz would probably be the most practical way to do it if no equipment was available although I think Narfi's method would be the most fun.
