Sea Sled madness. It’s in my brain.

Short circuit......I smell the smoke from here big brother!

 

Yeah. I drilled a few holes to let it out, after I got tired of my eyeballs popping out from overpressure.

 

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

Is the inside already filleted, completely?
If so, what radius?
Anything else to go in before lay-up?

 

Nothing happened inside. Still has cracks from drying last spring.

 

Just line up some dry fall weather, your schedule and the flip.

 

I can only control 1 of those things.

 

u control the flip and your schedule; u own two of em

 

Great weather in store.
The temporary cover is for sun protection as much as rain/dew/bird pooh.
Translucent plastic cover would provide wonderful, diffused light.
Sides could roll up to provide open air ventilation.
If allowed, make it oversized to compensate for your current cramped situation
and give you plenty of room to work. If you're inclined to double-wall the plastic,
a Herman-Nelson could keep your work space toasty warm this winter.

EDIT: My main concern would be wind.
Would you be able to tie it down?

 

Boat elevated.

 

I built yard dollies for mine. They were made with wood and trailer jacks. Just know that end grains do not support screws!

You'd need 8 trailer tongue jacks. You could build them upside down to fit. Then roll the boat out; flip; put back inside.

They ain't super great, but they got me by for a crude in n out the building trailer.

 

Great pictures John.

I spoke with John yesterday and he made a compelling argument for what he's doing.

 

I was all articulate like.

 

Ya, you're going to need lots of articulation in your shoulders!

 

So in a couple weeks I'll move my boat to a boatyard marina. No cover, and Vancouver is about to get rainy for 6 months. The interior, as you can see, is unfinished. 5 minute rain, and the boat is destroyed. Strip planks are not dimensionally stable.

I'm calling in a favor to drag the boat out of the shop. My landscaping subcontractor will bring his medium excavator around, ease the boat out the. doors, down the long narrow driveway to the street, and flip it over. But I have to set that up 2 weeks ahead. I use him because he's good. Because he's good, he's busy. So rain or shine, that's when it happens.

When that happens, that boat needs to be able to survive a few hours hard rain.
