Stretch your equipment dollar while saving valuable yard space...with rugged, stackable boat stands from HOSTAR.

When boats are in the water, you simply stack the boat stands out of the way. HOSTAR boat stands are constructed of long-lasting steel, the latest in corrosion-resistant screws and handles, and hull-protecting wood pads.

Boat stands are used as stabilizers. Use blocking or Keel stands fore and aft to support all weight of the boat on the keel. For power boats use a minimum of 2 sets of blocking, plus an additional set of boat stands for every 10 feet of boat length over 20 feet.

Use a pair of boat stands for each 8 feet of length; minimum 4 stands per powerboat. Plus use 1 stand with V-pad under the bow of sailboats, minimum 5 stands per sailboat. If it is necessary to remove a boat stand from under a boat, place another stand beside it first.

The person placing, moving, or adjusting the boat stands must be authorized and experienced. To position the boat stand against hull, hold the screw with one hand, raise screw with pad to boat hull, spin the wing nut with other hand, continuing to tighten until desired tension is realized. Make sure that the stands are firmly positioned on the ground. If the ground is soft, use suitable dunnage under stands in order to get full contact. Do not place blocks or other material on top of stands to make them higher. Never allow anything (such as a boat cover) to be tied to the boat stands.
