Up on Blocks and supports

have to look at the keel and probably need o pull it and redo it. How to support it to accomplish all this?
Ive been doing a LOT of reading/ research  about this. To say I am nervous is an understatement.
  KISS and be able to do it in my driveway.
 This idea is not in concrete so if any one has any reason it won't work or is more dangerous then any other idea out there other then the obvious fact that  hard wood frame slings etc would be more solid ( and way out of my reach and space) sing out!

. Using straps and ground stakes instead of wood framing would keep the area under the boat clear for easier keel removal.  . The photo that inspired this idea is here.  I found that off of the  ask  Macgregor owner forum

Here is  web page for restoration of a V 22

How about lifing it by the crossbeams instead of the hulls?

If it has crossbeams I do not know about it.

Yep, it sure does. I have not forgot the cat. Like the description says when Providence hands you a 22 ft Venture you dot ignore it. The cat will get done.
