So we chopped that thing off like nobodys buisness last December and tossed it in the back deck.

drew up some plans and sent them to professor Paul to machine the parts.

had to modify the forklift abit for more height

my solution to the hinge angles. I leave the lower bolt in to act as the pivot point. This hole is overdrilled larger than the bolt because it won't work otherwise. It's a 1/4" bolt in a 5/16" hole so it can turn slightly as it rotates. It clamps down so no gap I left it loose for pic. Works pisser!!

block & tackle to the stern cleat.

I had to relocate the two rodholders on the inside ladder legs and tweak/modify/bend the upper post on the rocket launcher. That will be taken care if when the welder comes to weld it all together neatly.
This is one of the front legs.

now I can mount the controlls and steering back together and get back to work on the railings.

I folded this down and back up bye myself with a block and tackle and a few ropes in about half hour. With three or four guys it will be efortless
