Brownell Boat Stands’ new Manual Boat Lifting System is the safest, fastest and most affordable way to take out the trailer, allowing owners to paint, repair or store the craft.

Owners assemble the system, lift the vessel and pull out the trailer. The craft is then ready to be lowered onto stands or worked on.

The system can lift boats up to 20 feet or 5,000 lbs. and can accommodate trailers up to 96 inches wide. The system has a lifting range of 19 to 37 inches and weighs 190 pounds.

The heavy-duty system includes two adjustable stern stands, a steel lifting beam, two adapters to fit most hull shapes and two boat lifting stands. It’s available from  marine supply retailers for about $699 or contact Brownell Boat Stands for more information.
