Same here.I use a 5'-0" stick of Uni-strut (available in the electrical aisle at HD) in a receiver made out of 2" box tubing. It has a bow roller on top with cradles. I put a foam bumper on the receiver to avoid damaging the hulls.
When I push the mast aft and pin it to the step the masthead is about 8 feet of the ground. That's a good starting height for raising.
