    	Don't know where you are, but call any marine transporter. They
    	should be getting very available, very soon!
    
    	Otherwise ask around just about any boatyard...
    
    	If you're tring to do what I used to try; fix/clean/paint the
    	centerboard, another way, doable in the backyard, is raise the
    	trailer on cinderblocks and pull the hinge pin... unless it
    	really weighs a ton.
    
    	That time of year again!
    
    	Good luck.

    Brownell Boatworks in Mattapoisset builds most of the jack stands
    you'll see in the northeast. In fact it's their biggest business (at
    least according to one of their drivers...). They also rent them.

    Call them at 508/758-3774.

    My boat is being launched this Saturday and I would be willing to rent
    mine to you.  I have 4 - 5' side stands and a 3' bow stand.  What's it
    worth to you??
