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... |

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. _________________ It's always the Navigators fault! |

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. |
