Boat Blocking and Stands

kordo

I have been storing my 360 indoors for the past few years.  The marina has usually put the boat on 3 keel blocks with 6 stands.  This year they used two Brownell stands as pictured.  Doesn't look as stable as in the past to me and any issues with the bottom buckling?  Any expert opinions?  Thanks.

Can't address the blocking question, but is that your tender between the boats?

What drives me crazy is that a yard charges per square foot for storage then puts someone else's bow over my swim platform, or like here, throws a PWC or some other storage in a space I'm paying for. End of rant.

Those are some awesome casters! Gotta be the better part of 10,000lbs on the rear cart.

Tony, that's not my tender between the boats and yes, I hate it when someone else's bow is covering my swim platform.  One time, I could not get my engine hatch all the way open to disconnect my batteries and drain my engines.  It was a tight squeeze.  
YYZRC, the rear Brownell is rated at 10,000 lbs, which has me a little worried.  The boat with all my crap on it is about 16,000 lbs.  I'm guessing/hoping the forward Brownell is supporting 6,000 lbs.

I think the spec for the 350 was 15500lbs dry. Add the hardtop and some fuel and gear and yes I agree 16000 easy. 

If it was me, I would tilt the drives up just enough so that if the casters did collapse, the skegs wouldn’t hit the ground.

Good point.
