Ugh, this is the part I hate.. Today I will take the Brockway to the back yard and tie it to a tree. Then I will drive the trailer out from under it.. that's the easy part. Next I will start to lever and wedge the hull over with 2x4s and work it up a few inches at a time with sticks stuck up under the gunnels until I get it up on it's side. After that, I will carefully work my way to the transom, balancing the hull on its side and work my way around to the other side. Then I will let it down as easily as possible until it gets to a point of terminal force and I just move out of the way.. Fortunately, it's a beefy boat and can take a real beating. A friend borrowed a smaller one once and dropped it off the top of his truck at 55 mph.. The thing didn't even bust, just scratched the heck out of the paint ![]() ![]() Scotty from SmallBoats.com I loved growing up on a farm, where necessity is the mother of invention! It's nice to be creative and not always do things the way you do because it's always been done that way! If that were the case, Edison would have been a bore! |
