[QUOTE="oldude, post: 420439, member: 20410"] I lift the boat on/off the trailer with 2 chain hoists. The area of the crack is about where the ratchet strap goes around the boat and then i hook the hoist to the strap. Since finding the cracks i made a brace that goes side to side across the gunnels. I thought that maybe as i was hoisting the boat it squeezed the sides enough to cause the cracks. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
