Russ,
Actually the boat looks small in the shop. Theres another boat next to it on a long cradle and plenty of room to get around.
Tony's parking outside now.
Those cradles are made by Holstar who make boat stands, hyd trailers and such.
They are 10,000lb capacity each and cost $1175.00 each plus shipping from Mass. They adjust in width and height.
They have 4 units in the heavy duty line like those and have a lighter weight line and can build any size you want.
When reasearching to make my own, the casters would have cost me 1200.00 for 4 without any metal.

Put two stands under the front but none in the rear.
Doesn't seem to be a problem. Support pads are big and being a 60's hull, its thick.
If it was a later 70's thin hull, I'd be using blocks under the keel.
Spent most of Friday getting the tank loose. Got wedges under the back to pry away from the foam.
Old dash out with wiring and controls, new one will go in Tuesday. No cables makes an easy install.
Only thing left in the hull is the old engine beds which will be out by Wed.
Owner added a gen set. Real nice guy. Seems like a kid in a candy store during the rebuild.
BTW, Friday AM went down to Cabrera's new shop to work on Gerry's controls. Last trip mounted the engine compartment servos and computers and ran wires from the bridge. Made the new water proof harneses for the neutral and sync switches in that teak console.
Next step was to assemble the console controls, wire and then ty wrap down to the engine room and finish there.
Walked into the shop and he was varnishing the console. So much for that trip to Miami. Got back in the truck and left after 2 hours and 2 accidents and Miami's slow 95 crawl down there.
I tried calling Gerry from down there but no answer. Will have to go down again next week after I check and make sure the console is done.
