Default \"I fip ya - flip ya for real\"

Time to do some work on the bottom - so had to flip the boat. I had to take the boat to a frinds house with a nice grassy field to drop the boat down onto. Then load on a trailer and take back to my house. Oh yeah, my friend just happened to have a bob cat that we could use.

How come I don't see any beer cans lying around?
Was it before 12:00 on Sunday?

Wow, the boat was still sitting right side up last I saw it. You have been on the ball. That looks like a much better method than the original proposed putting 5 guys on one side and lifting method. You might just make that end of year deadline after all. I presume that you will sand and then go ahead and paint while it is still upside-down?

Thats the way to do it. It was PIA working on my right side up. The only good thing was I was able to do interior work while my guy was sanding the bottom. Great pics. I like the hand truck method
