Piece of cake! I built the set up and hoisted it to the garage ceiling in 4 hours!

I need to note that I had once lifted the deck earlier at my auto shop, but could not leave it on the lift for weeks . . .

so here's a few shots ! Enjoy!

I thought a Sawzall was required to lift a deck? ;)

Looks great, how much beer and pizza did it cost?

From there it went to the ceiling . . 4 easy pulls !

Then the Coronas and lime!

Yah that's me on the left, no my garge is not heated! the friend on the right just happened to stop by as my son, (taking the picture) were getting ready to hoist.

UP! All the way!

here I have the first of the supports in place, I'll leave it hanging on the lines, but have diagonally crossed the 2x4s that you see here in case the lines arre too weak and for safety.

Now I can repair the cockpit floor supports and install my new tank as soon as it arrives. I'll also be rebuilding the transom to accept a Mercruiser. . . . .

Does it ever end?

I'll post more pictures later if you guys want them, but I ned to resize them.

I for one would like to see all the photos you can stand to post. I will be following in your footsteps in a couple months and seeing it done will be a big help to me. Besides, I can't work on mine now so watching you is almost as good!
