Getting it off the trailer was easier than expected.The hard part is getting the dent to move.I'm just glad all my boat needs is a side window and a oil change.......

Arthur, let us know how it turns out, I'm curious to know if that'll work.

Well the Tractor/4X4 and the bottle jack didn't move it, but we were makin some headway with a slide hammer and just some straight up pounding.He was gonna sleep on it and give it another go this morning.
Hey Reeder....This probably would have been avoided with the QT... Smile

what i found to work the best was put the boat in sand and a 3" by 4ft solid steel rod with handles on the sides and the bottom rounded just a bit.arms get a little sore lol but if it was easy it probably wouldn't work.

Will has the right idea, a large ram out of an old hydraulic cylinder with a piece of 1x3/8 flatbar welded on the bottom with one end bent up slightly works well too.

Sounds like he got it to move by bolting a bar across the engine mounts and using a bottle jack with a little heat.He get's back this W/E so I'll go check it out and see how it worked.
