I can't get the spray underneath the bench seats, if you tilt the can upside down to spray up it doesnt work... the sides of the benches come down to about 8" of the floor. I was thinking of filling the boat with water but i'm not sure the trailer could handle the extra weight

I was going to say the water idea! Worked before just leave the hose and get out of dodge.
If you have a hose that has a high pressure nozzle you could shoot it at them and knock them down then there isn't your worry for the weight of the water on the trailer. Just a thought

I know this sounds weird but on a website that I googled I found that someone used some form of dust from home depot called "Sevin-5 dust" its 6 dollars they said. According to what they wrong they took the dust and threw it on the hive at night(when all the bees are there) and it has killed the hive.
Im not sure really but its worth a shot

Use the water and soap - the less pesticides you coat your boat with the better - imagine your daughter licking her hand after getting some nasty pesticide on it
NO WAY NOT FOR ME
BTW the trailer will be fine so long as it is not moving

Personally, I'd question filling the boat with water. It may turn out that a large air bubble remains under that seat, saving the wasps. You have nothing to lose by trying it, but wait until dusk, as most of the wasps will be back in the nest. After you drain the water, approach and manhandle the boat with caution until you can confirm good results.

Bees are my cryptonite!! I run like a school girl from some bees, especially wasps and yellow jackets and such. I have come to respect the honey bee but I could care less if the others even existed!! Glad I'm not in your shoes because I just wouldnt get around the boat till winter!!
