Ideas working on boat on trailer

[landlockvasailor]

I don't have the $ to buy stands to support the bow of 22 foot on trailer while standing on its deck. But, I need to build something. Anyone have an idea.
Thanks

Tom-

If the trailer is designed for the boat, it will probably support the bow just fine. If this isn't what you're talking about, you'll have to clarify what you're talking about.

Sorry for not making it clearer. I have a driveway with a 15 degree slope. The front bow roller (one of three) on the trailer is not in contact with the keel. When I was on the bow last night, the movement was significant. The single axle wheels are blocked with wedge-rubber chocks from tractor supply. I placed jack stands on the port and starboard beneath each trailer rail and raised the trailer crank wheel to make snug. The bow of the trailer crank wheel turns free, there is not lock to keep it from moving. The trailer does not have the stands, but padded rails. I hope that description is better.

Tom,
Two ideas come to mind. One, would be to spend $20 for a new trailer winch with a good locking reel.
Second would be to buy a set of car ramps, and back the trailer up onto them, and level the front of the trailer. A good set of ramps would also be in the $20 range.

Larry,
The winch needs to be replaced, but the bow ring has pulled out. I have a local shop in Danville fabing a plate with backing strike. I have ramps, and tried to back up onto. The stability was lost given the height, so I have ruled that out. I did just find a picture from Zimmerman off the North River of the Mobjack had for one of the boat from Jamestown. I look like they took three or four 2x10 edged and strapped with a groove of about 3 inches with large saw horses. Now the cost of the lumber comes into play.
