Finished off the upside down jig or dolly today. Pretty uninspiring work and ugly, but has to be done. In rough and grubby terms I used the yellow LVL boards as a slipper fit over the hull bearers then basically built the suppoorting frame from there up. It's all held togehther with screws so dismantling will be easy. There are no screws set into the hull bearers. Thanks GJ Gardner for your offcuts!

Yes - we're using the beer, BBQ & mates technique to roll the boat. Should be fun!

Save the run for Narrandera. It'll look great seeing Darren going down the road to the ramp. :lol:

All that is missing is a sign saying "this way up"

Unfortunately I can't see the CC being ready for Narrandera this year. Way too much to be done. It will be a Turbo Fire year.
