I'm not much use on this because I know more about the female brain than I do computers but one way to do it is save image to your desktop. Then go to the "post reply" section (not quick reply) and you'll see an image of a globe with an a arrow on it, click it then type in file name and vola. Images can't be large or it'll boot it out. There's many other ways to do it but this is the easiest to me and the only way I know.
Edit- image of tree, not globe. |

I agree with Gary, that's what I'd do, lets you pick the boat completely clear so you can re-position the trailer if needed, or put the boat on blocks. |

It is going to want to twist (on to the running gear) when you initially lift it, I like the idea of a stack of tires under the opposite side that it is leaning on, right up close to the running gear. This way when you start to lift, it will hopefully roll onto the tires (and not onto the running gear). You only need this until the boat rights itself. I also am not sure if tires will actually work, you may need some actual boat jacks. As Chris said, you really only need to lift the stern, as it will pivot on the V of the bow. Lift the stern, set on two stands (or a cradle or piles of tires), then re-position and lift the bow, set on stand or trailer, etc.

Can you just lift the stern? I would think that the bow will take care of itself, esp if tied down.

Make a spreader bar out of an I beam or perhaps the person with the tow truck or crane has one.

I'll work on getting some photos. I have a front end loader that I can lift it with, but the bucket is only 8 feet wide. I was worried about the bucket being far too narrow and pulling the eyes toward each other, rather than up. Actually, that is my main concern, even if I get a couple tow trucks to lift it. I'm going to block under the high side and the bow. The bow eye (that attaches to the trailer) is still attached to the trailer. I'll document the process.

If it's on it's side, use the rings like Kevin mentioned and possibly strap and wrap hull from pylon to prevent twisting until it's clear of all obstacles.

A photo would help, but from the description it sounds like you need something that can attach to the lifting eyes and pull it straight up. Might be a good job for a crane or perhaps a tow truck could do it. Is it still attached to the trailer at all?

I found a nautique that floated off it's trailer and is sitting on it's side, held up by the trailer tire. It doesn't appear any of the running gear has been damaged, but to move it, will put that in jeopardy. Any ideas how to save it?
