Larry Not sure if you mean my crane.
If so I just used some scaffolding frames and put a wood beam across. I used ratchet cable pullers to lift the boat by the chain plates. Another way to do this without a crane is to jack up the boat and trailer to the height you want, support the boat in a cradle, and then drop the trailer down. I can't remember but someone on the list had some nice pics on this procedure.
