lifting rings are for vertical loads only

That's some hot boat on boat action.

Easy on the brakes.

My dad said I should have hung it by the nose and decorated it like a Christmas tree...

1. Why stop at 2? Load the SW18 in next and get a 3-fer deal at the dump.

2. Smart thinking to to recruit a homeless bum to work the chain fall. Too dangerous to undertake yourself. Bet he worked cheap.

I watched this live on the internet with my 75 year old father and 84 year old aunt - very amusing... werent quite sure you had the height though.

Classic.. I should print this as a flyer and pas it around my neighborhood.. See? I could be worse!
I have been known to do a little truck gardening in the spring.

So I'm wondering, how are you going to get them off the trailer at the dump? Or does the trailer get to stay too?

Another option could have been planting them vertical in the front yard, like Cadillac Ranch.

OMFG!

Again, you gotta call me when you are doing these projects. I want to come just to run video!

Are you sure of that?

Yes Pete I am sure of that. What are you doubting?

I'm not doubting you! The illustration is more for making sure that anyone else using the technique is aware of what happens with slings and or cables when they aren't in the vertical position.

Tmosely1, I found the blue SN on craigslist last fall. Last summer I found a SW18 with no engine on a nice trailer and with the help of CCF members was able to get it from Kentucky. I intended to part this boat out and keep only the trailer only but it seemed too complete and fairly clean to destroy. So I bought the blue SN in Oklahoma for the engine. For about a week I considered putting the SN all back together but then realized I don't need two ratty 2001s so I started selling off those parts as intended. It was fairly complete, just completely disassembled.. We took about 2 hours loading everything into the boat, including the engine. Unfortunately the engine barely rolls over by hand so it will be a longer project than I was looking for. Along came the SW20 shown above in Michigan that I bought mostly for the engine.

Long story short, a new trailer turned into the two parts boats. I still have plenty of stuff from both of them. I'm hoping to find some time this winter to sort and sell what I don't want to keep.

For the record, with heavy side load stress on the lifting rings, did you notice any damage to the supporting fiberglass?

He already passed it off, as in: "Here, hold my beer and watch this" which typically ends up much less successfully than Hollywood's efforts shown above.

Perfecter! (HW will get this)
