Chris asked:
I need to use the trailer for something else, plus it takes up too much room in my garage. I am planning on storing the Waverunner on a stand in my basement because the trailer is too long. I can keep the trailer outside, but I have to pick up the Waverunner off the trailer to get it set on the stand. Does anyone have any ideas on how that would be done?

You really just need 4 or 5 guys to help you lift it up. I store mine the same way and I just ask a few friends for help. It’s really not all that heavy. Good luck… And make sure you put fuel conditioner in the gas for the winter.

Sure, we made our stands out of 2×6’s & wheels. We had seadoo trailer attached to a truck, we slid the seadoo off onto the stand. I did place a couple of old tires where the seadoo would hit the floor if we lost control of it. We did turn the seadoo around on the trailer so it would slide off bow first

It’s simple. Just use canvas straps and your front end loader.
Doesn’t everyone have a loader?
I have used all the suggestions you have been given, except the friends and beer thing. My friends would drink me into the poorhouse!
If you build, or modify the stand to be at a slightly lower height than the trailer, one man can slide it off with a come-a-long very easily. To re-load, just lower the rear of the trailer and reverse the winch process.

Four guys and a twelve pack of beer.
Horse it and then drink.
