4 September 2007 Finally, I made the TURN!!
I got it out of the carport on a small trailer, you can see the tires under the setup form.
Most of the turn was by myself, my neighbor, Stu, stopped by just in time to give a hand. We levered it up, and blocked until it was about 45 degrees up, I tied lines to the Jeep to control the down side.
Here is a picture of Stu.
A come-along was tied to the upper side to pull it on up to its balance point. Stu, pushed it over the top while I controlled the fall (onto stacks of tires) with the Jeep.
The stack of tires was the real trick here, they were high enough to catch the weight of the hull without the Jeep lines crushing the sheer.
The tires also allowed jacks/blocking to get under in order to again put it on the little trailer.
(The camera flash lit up the tail light of the trailer.) |
