Boat Hacks: 2x4 Trailer Stand
posted by
Some boat lessons are expensive. I learned this one after a stretch of storms left inches of standing water in my newly refurbished wooden drift boat, damaging the wood and breaking the chines. The mistake? Leaving her flat on the trailer.
Over at our partner site Flylab, I share a simple storage trick that helps rain and snowmelt find their way out of your boat—and the homemade trailer stand that takes just a couple of 2x4s and a few screws. Cheap insurance against a pretty miserable discovery that works for any boat on a trailer with a drainplug.
