Author	Topic:   Jack placement points on Revenge?
Morocco	posted 06-22-2002 01:02 PM ET (US)         My Revenge 25 is on a trailer and I don't have access to a boatyard lift easily. I want to re-do the bottom paint. Is it possible to jack the boat up a few inches so I can build a temporary 'sling' that would allow me to pull the trailer (or probably leave it underneath as a 'safety net') so I can get to the hull areas that are resting against the bunks? Where would 'jack points' be? Along the keel? Thanks in advance.

I just used blocks from the trailer frame on both sides to steady it, then removed the bunks entirely. Also chained the boat to a tree and pulled the boat off a couple inches to get the spots under the rollers. Other than than, jack points would definitely be along the keel, and a good percentage of the weight should be at the stern under the transom.
