Duck Skiff - Right Side Up!

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

Right Side Up!

I rounded up an all star team to help in the flipping Sunday, It went pretty smooth, I did not get any pics of the actually flipping primarily cause I was under the boat unscrewing the jig and helping carry her.

Thanks for the Help: Bryan Perry (Frisco Rod and Gun), Captain Spurgeon Stowe (Miss Hatteras), Captain Buddy Hooper (Hatteras Fever), Captain Dan Rooks (Tuna Duck), Jeremy Hicks (Bite Me - Mate), Jeffrey Midgette (Sundown - Mate), Wayland Harris (former Porta-Poti Salesman, just kidding Wayland, Wayland is a long time customer and friend who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time)

Went pretty smoothly, I had undone the whole jig except for the transom station and the stem, the first thing we did is Chainsaw the stem loose, then while everyone was holding it, I unscrewed the last station from underneath the boat. We carried her out and rolled her over on the trailer.

I then received several unsolicted opinions on everything about the boat. I listened intently to all of the expert opinions.

Now some pics.



This shows where the shear will be cut down to, I left it a little proud so I could adjust the shear as necessary
