Hi
About to put my 1977 boat up on a frame to address the keel issues. Saw a FB post from Jeff Selert as to how he did it and plan on copying his approach - drop the front of the trailer and use two stands under the transom. Jack up the front and place on a sawhorse type frame made of 2x6 lumber. Plan on using 2x6x10 just forward of the keel to support the front initially. Once trailer removed, will put additional sailboat stands, cinder blocks and planing for support and stability. Should I remove the mast and any additional weight on board before doing this? Any advice or comments before I proceed? Thanks.
