So whats the best way to back the trailer in ,lift the boat (from underneath) and place on stands ,then pull the trailer out. With the intention of reversing everything in the spring. Thanks.

Much easier that way. Sliding the boat off the trailer is a breeze, as I have done it with a 22 outrage in about 15 minutes. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

He also had a great method for getting it put on the cradle -- you can read about it in the THREAD discussing his project.

Also, can you put a new tongue on your trailer that you could pull a pin and rotate it towards the rear, out of the way? I've seen folding tongues on a lot of trailers.
