after seeing that boat hanging on them come-a-longs,  looks like you could flip it with two come-a-longs on the transom,    :undecided:

I have a plan and it does involve the come-a-longs but only one on each end.  :smile30:

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

There is NO WAY any work gets done in that shop. You can see floor and walls over the place!!

Seen one on Iboats where a guy did something similar with a jet. He used the intake to bolt in a pipe and flipped it just like to you did.
