Secure Boat Storage with Brownell Boat Stands
Fisheries Supply is a leading supplier of marine products. We offer Brownell boat stands that provide stable lateral support, working alongside keel blocking to stabilize hulls during off-season storage. For more than 60 years, the family-owned Brownell company has been making high-quality boat jack stands in the USA. These stands allow boats to be securely stabilized using poppets that conform to hull angles while the vessel's weight rests safely on centerline keel blocks or keel stands.
We understand the rigors of storing boats out of water across changing seasons and environmental conditions. That's why Brownell constructs adjustable boat stands, boat jacks, and boat dollies from marine-grade galvanized steel resistant to corrosion and rust. Their signature sturdy designs provide fore and aft stability for hulls while allowing compact nested storage of the boat stands themselves during peak boating season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many boat stands do I need for my boat?
Use at least 4 stands for powerboats and 5 or more for sailboats, adding one pair of stands for every 8 to 10 feet of boat length. Always use additional stands if the rig remains stepped or if storing in high-wind conditions.
How do I choose the right size boat stand?
Choose based on your boat's length, beam, draft, and hull shape. Use Brownell's boat stand selector tool or consult their sizing guide for best results.
Should I use a security chain with my boat stands?
Yes. Safety chains (typically 3/16-inch) should always connect port and starboard sailboat stands beneath the hull to prevent stands from slipping outward along steep topsides.
What materials are used in the construction of Brownell boat stands?
Brownell constructs adjustable boat stands, boat jacks, and boat dollies from marine-grade hot-dip galvanized steel resistant to corrosion and rust.
What are the primary benefits of using Brownell boat stands over other storage methods?
Brownell stands provide superior lateral stability while total vessel weight rests safely on keel blocking. Their adjustable tops fit custom hull contours, and their nesting frame design allows compact storage during the boating season.
