I, too, just use a wheeled jack (~$15-20), If the area is relatively flat
and paved, that should be all that you need. Although the other solutions
offered sure solve a multitude of other problems. The jack has the
advantage of being attached to the trailer and so if you need to detach from
your car when away from home, the boat is mobile (HINT: take a set of
chocks with you) and level. The height is also adjustable, so you can
maintain a sternward tilt for drainage.
