Charlie don't teak surf! :lol:

I'll keep my eyes open for deals on teak. Not something I need right away anyways. Just gotta get myself in the right place at the right time.

Yesterday and today I cleaned up the shed a bit. Got the uprights in place to support the I-beam that'll lift the engine up and into the boat.

First step was getting the engine off the trailer. It spent the winter there under a tarp. Doesn't appear to be any worse for the wear.

Back on the ground, safe & secure.

First up on the list this morning was getting the uprights in place to support the i-beam. Simple 6x6's. Held in place with ratchet straps.

Image

Some of you might remember the gin pole? Well it's been repurposed! :wink: It's only gotta hold long 'nuff to get the engine up and into the boat~! *Fingers Crossed*

Image

Wheels are up and she's holding the weight of the engine/trans (565 lbs) with no problems. No moans or groans or cracks coming from the bow shed either.

That's it till Friday when I plan to hoist that anchor and put it in the bilge! :lol:

Standby......
Yours Aye! Rick

I bet you are going to be happy when you have some flat places to stand on. Looks like you have things cleaned up good and ready to move ahead.
