Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

Great John that was a great idea on making the rack. I'm thinking I'm going to do the same thing for the Century when I get started. I'll need to flip it and the rack will make it easier to work on.

Nice.... Those are really handy, especially if you have limited space and the boat can't stay in the way all the time.

Yeah I forgot Andrew did that, credit where its due, Thanks Andrew great idea. I have 3/4" to 1" granite in front of the shed plus a good size ramp I'll need to get up so I'm thinking a good trip to Harbor Freight for big wheels and that engine stand.
