How do I lift my Moomba
I need to lift my XLV off of the trailer to clean and wax where the boat sits on the trailer runners. My buddy's shop has a hoist and forklift. the book says to use the hook on t he bow and the two transom hooks on the stern? It doesn't seem like those points would hold that much weight.
Also what kind of straps should I use? thanks.

pro tow straps will hold 4000 pounds each.that will lift it. i would put it in the water go fix the trailer and put it back on less chance of damage

I lifted my old boat off the trailer with 2x6's and a floor jack so I could replace the bunks during the winter. If you raise one side at a time and spread the weight out it works fine. I'd definitely block it up before I stuck my hand in there to wax though.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Mark the hull where the edge of the runners meet with a magic marker, get a good underwater waxing kit, put the boat in the water and get waxing. This could be quite a business.
