Getting Ready
My baby is about ready for her journey to home. The work is coming along and I will be flying to Ft. Lauderdale Wednesday to prep for the trip on Friday or Saturday to Texas.

Good luck. BTW, Don't ever let anyone block your boat that way again. That's a nightmare in waiting. Blocks should never be stacked like that. They should be cribbed (aka crisscrossed). It takes more blocks, but its much safer.

Doug... Re: Frank P's comment above... I will be happy to invest in part of your upcoming business venture! But I don't know anything about running a marina!

Nothing wrong with the way the boat is blocked. The only thing I would have added was a couple of chains between two of the stands just so they don't kick out. Gravity hold the boat to the blocks and the jackstands only keep it from tiling over. It would sit just fine with only two stands under the stern. All those other stands are just back-ups. Keep the stern two from spreading and she is not going to move.
