What I did might work of you. I went upstairs and laid two 4x4's perpendicular to the beams. I drilled a ½" hole through the 4x4 and the ceiling of the workshop. From the bottom, I pushed and eye bolt through the ceiling and 4x4, put big washers and a nut on the threads. From the eye, I hung chain hoists. This gave me two lifting points. I intend to build a cradle out of 2" x 12" x 16' lumber and 4x4's and carriage bolts. I flirted with the idea of a steel frame and castors so I can move it around because my '89 20 CC will take up a lot of the available work space. On the other hand, it the boat being in the shop is a pain, I might get it done faster. Last project the customer had show dollies, which worked great!
