I moved the boat forward by putting a few bits of pipe under the building frame and just rolled it out, next I added two 8 foot lengths of 4x2 to the boat to use as handles and to keep it off the ground.



It was a bit tight on one side



Sorry no photo of the turn as my hands were full, but with the help of 3 mates we got her on her side then lifted it up from the bottom and over she went.





For the first time she is looking like a boat

Thanks for the comments guy's

I'm just doing a dry fit to make sure everything lines up.

Don't drop please don't drop




Went in fine and spot on with the shaft, boy it looks big when your sitting behind it The risers are a bit higher than the deck beams that were in the plans so I will have to make up new ones with a bigger curve, I did price some nice low risers but they are silly money.



Vrummmmm Vrummmmm
