I had to adjust the bunks on a hoist that I bought for the BFN. I figure this is the way the boat should be picked up. It beats the heck out of a chain fall and an engine lift.

Steve, i lifted an older Sea ray last year and the front peeled like a tuna can, it seperated between the halves, i didnt check if the front eye was attached inside, its nice when your able to lift a boat to work on it. ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

You might want to check those cranes. They might be a little under sized for the boat. By the way, does your boss know you are using company property for personal use? 
Looks like a precast plant to me. Hope your as busy as we are down here. We can't keep up with the demand right now! ------------- Greg http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2427&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - 86 BFN |

I think I've got crane envy, I did the engine hoist thing this winter, not a lot of fun.

Steve, Bet that helps alot when it comes time to clean the bottom. Those cranes P&H? We have (5) 60 ton cranes with 20 ton aux hooks, and (1) 70 ton with a 30 ton aux hook in our stamping department. But the boss wont let me hang my boat from it. Not even on the week end when no one is around lucky you. ------------- |

Skicat,
You nailed it. We have a precast plant that produces mostly underground vaults. Sounds like you are in the same type of work. What do you do? Your economy and business climate in Georgia is doing better than ours here in Michigan 
James The one to the right is a 15 ton P&H, and the one on the left is a twin 30 ton Shawbox (Cleveland). It's nice to have these types of tools to use when everyone goes home. BTW, it's nice to be the boss!!! If those hoists had a problem lifting that boat, I might have some wet foam.

Steve if you get a chance and happen to think about it. Email me a pic of your trailer with the boat off it. From the pics you have up right now it looks like your bunks on the trailer are different then mine. ------------- |
