I spent the weekend getting my 2655 off the trailer and on stands. It wasn't bad at all and I was a little overly cautious in the process. After I pulled it I realized that I could have done most of the under side blocking with the trailer gone but I just couldn't stomach hanging out under it without that trailer in between my head and the hull. I'm still considering picking up a couple of boat stands to put up front but I'm 99.9% sure that would be overkill. Total cost was about $100 but I'm going to put some metal straps or strips on the crib blocking to make sure the blocks can't shift so that'll run another $20 or so. I'm sure some will give me a hrad time for using RR ties and tell me how unsafe this is but, knock on wood, it feels VERY stable. I've been in the boat moving around a lot and it doesn't budge.
