Oh yeah, I was out there with my slide rule. hehe

Seriously, though. I just overbuilt the thing and kept adding supports to make sure it wouldn't go anywhere. I want to say my Oday is just around 2500lbs (supposed to be 2200 from the factory). I really just had to build the whole thing around how high I felt safe jacking the whole thing up and leave enough room to get the trailer out. Anything supporting the hull is better than the trailer it was sitting on. One bunk was busted up so it was pretty much just resting on the uprights. Also, if I weren't sanding and repainting, the whole setup would have been padded with carpet.

After being on the supports for about 2 months now, the front support probably is deflecting a total of about 1-2 inches.
