Extreme makeover 72 seafari 25 aloha edition

[Xcomunic8d]

Made some more progress today.

How to take this beast off the trailer.

Step 1 get boat stands. IIRC it’s 2 mb-2’s and 2 sb-3’s from brownell boatstand.com

Step 2 get lots and I mean lots of cribbing it’s about 3-4 4x6x8’s

Step 3 build one huge gantry crane. It’s 2x4x8’s on bottom. 4x4x10’s for uprights. 2x8x10’s glued, nailed and through bolted for top cross member. 2x4’s cross braces on legs. 2-2x4’s nailed together to make cross braces on top. I used 1/2” x 8” galvanized bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts.

Need a huge come-along and a big ratchet strap (redundancy more than capacity)


Here it is!



Cribbing is installed but not pictured.

And let the bottom sanding begin! Maybe I’ll switch to paint stripper this stuff is dusty and nasty.
