I would love to see some good old fashioned redneck engineering, but your video link only takes me to the main you tube page not the video.

Oh Yeah, Yer video werks Jest Fine fer me!!!! That was slicker than snot on a door knob!!!! Doncha just love it when a plan comes together!!!:encouragement:

Tip for others wanting to do this another time.

A piece of plywood Securely C-Clamped to Transom of the boat with and eye bolt in it OR and eyebolt inserted in the Drain tube of the transom or Splash well and then a Strap run thru the eye bolt will facilitate the rotation of the hull in a similar manner.

Your redneck lifestyle really speaks to me!! Lol Thanks for the added tip! We?re certainly in no way, shape, or form professionals!

Thanks! Our legs were very tired after this! Amazing technology built right into cell phones these days. Love it!

Now I see it.

Very nice!

Glad it worked for you! Our video reminds me so much of the videos that are seen on TV of someone working on something. The video makes it look super easy, but in reality it?s nothing but painful. Lol This was a little over an hour of time condensed down to a minute. So cool!

Oh, man. We were stuck for the longest time trying to figure out how to get the trailer out from underneath the boat and it all basically boiled down to the guide posts being in the way. We came THIS close to cutting one off and then welding it back on later. Lol!


Thanks for the love, ya?ll!
