I have an O-day 25 and am planning on doing the bottom in feb. I have a couple options. I can let a local boat yard pull he boat and do the bottom myself or maybe I can find a trailer to rent. Any ideas.

jackstands vs trailer
I'd go with having the boat lifted out if you are going to do bottomwork, Rick. Trailers usually have enough obstructions (bunkboards, etc.) to make even simple painting less than complete, not to mention ease of access. I am not really familiar with that boat or trailer, but if its a keelboat, it will sit on its keel with 4 jackstands that can be moved (by the marina) when need be. If its a swingkeel, I would suggest adding some cinderblocks fore and aft (with wood padding.) Plus the marina will usually blast the scum off while still wet for a small fee. There is some danger of freak accidents with jacks, but its rare. I'm trying to include a picture of some boats hit by a microburst/twister in Baltimore.
