My new stringers are done, floor almost finished, transom in. One last thing to do before I take it to the upholstery shop for carpet. Truing the bottom.
On the right side I have hook. Not much but there is about 1 foot wide by 2 feet that is almost a 1/4" hooked. The left side has a little bit of rocker about the same size as the hook on the other. perhaps the rocker is a result of having a 3 point engine mount setup before and therefore the rear of the engine was resting on the jet intake and pushing out the hull. I thought I was going to have to get a bunch of people over to help flip my hull. Not sure of the weight but it's a 20.6 bow rider. Not a light one. Anyway, the drunker I and my neighbor were getting yesterday, the bigger our balls were (and backs for that matter). We pushed the ass end off the trailer onto the lawn, then pulled trailer out from underneath. It only took me, my neighbor and his wife to flip it onto 3 31" goodyears. It was simple. Just stood it up on it's side. Then the two of them went to the other while I shoved it over the top. No big. We probably never would have tried this sober. Thank you Coors light!
Any tips on removing hook is appreciated. I have an airfile and a hand /wood sanding block. I planned on using fibral for filling the hooked areas. Any ideas for a better filler? Let me know.
Thanks.
