my boat

[Pure84GTT]

been real busy working on her getting it ready to go in the water this season for the first time in 4 years. when we purchased the boat originally it was in exemplary condition, however 4 years of sitting dry docked has taken its toll. Ive been wheeling it out and re varnishing all the wood ect and summerizing and tuning up the motor trans and trim tabs. far from done but heres some pics I snapped before it was really clean. the bottom was painted too just has water lines on it.

and a picture of my best friend

shes a 1983 chris craft catalina (one of very few left in this condition)

How did you get the boat where it is now and then back on a trailer? Sorry, I'm not very nautical savvy. I see boats on blocks out by my G/F's like that and always wonder how they get there.

The boat looks good! The work is paying off!

put the tongue of the trailer on the ground, place stands under the rear, lift tongue(most of the boat is now off the trailer), pull trailer forward, when boat is touching the trailer behind the axle, lower the tongue, place front stand(blocks), and then raise the tongue, boat should now be off the trailer
