Well here are the pics. I built the jig to fit in the same place as the turnbuckle brace and used the existing transom brace on the inside to distribute the load. I used an axle strap to hang it and a big cheater bar for leverage. It spun so easy that I had my helper spin it while I took pictures. Now on to stripping the bottom.  jump.gif

I need to flip mine I think.  I could have cracked my strut after my wreck.  I do not know, JJ is checking it for me.

Well I now have the boat back to the original gelcoat and I was very surprized at the lack of stress cracks on it. There is only one small stress crack on the whole boat and that is on the top port side where it was bumping the bulkhead evidently. It is a very solid boat and will only need a couple of cosmetic repairs. I am happy about that!!!

Oh..........and I put a can out on the floor for Blaze so it would look like some work got done!! :smile30:  :grin:
