Lifting my RIB

[DS1570]

The hull of my Cobra 7.5 is overdue a decent clean. I've got a two post lift and some 4 tonne slings so my plan is to lift it off the trailer (carefully!) to make access that little less back breaking. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and inevitably the slings will come into contact with the tubes so I wonder if there's a view on tubes being inflated or deflated?

Thanks in advance!

Tubes inflated if it fits.

If they are deflated you run a higher risk of pinching a flap of loose tube somewhere.

A 7.5M cobra is quite wide, it must be just fitting between the uprights, but I suppose that means you'll have the arms spread out further down each side of the boat.

It's going to be a squeeze but just wide enough, appreciate the response.
