Thanks JB and Trooper... I really like the polish.. Easy on and easy off..

Talked my SIL and daughter into helping me today.. They didn't know what they were getting into..
They both really helped me out.. Without them the boat would still be hanging and not on the trailer..
Have a few pics..
Just rasied the hull off the cradle..


Here is the SIL, daughter and me attacking the cradle..



Another pic of SIL holding the hull even while I placed the motor lift in place..



Just a couple of shots of the hull back on the trailer..





I sure am glad to see the hull flipped and back on the trailer.. Seems like half of my life time went into getting this far..
I'm looking forward to putting on the deck and laying out all the storage boxes and live wells and all the rest..

Hope everyone has a great week ahead..

Re: 1983 Deck Boat Transom/deck/stringer replacement Help

It's been a couple of hard weeks for me and my family.. I haven't done any work on the boat..

Had to put my mother in the hospital about 2 weeks back.. She was diagnosed with alzheimer's about 10 years ago..

In the last year her health was deteriorating.. 2 weeks ago the doctors told the family that she had congestive heart failure

and only about 30% use of her heart.. They placed her in Hospice care and she passed away early last Wednesday morning..

We had her funeral Friday.. She would have been 88 years old this December..

She is now in a better place and can be with my father.. I know she is at peace..
