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