Getting the Top out of the back yard.
I have a cover on the side of the house. The cover is only about 8 1/2' at the highest point.
That meant that I had to move the top at an angle in order to clear the house cover.
I made a three point dolly to allow the top to be moved around at a angle. I borrowed a friends trailer and withe a little help from my friends the top made it to the front yard.
Once on the trailer I was ready to go to the local hoist and lift the top onto the boat.
Before the top could go on to the boat I needed to brace up some 2x4's to temperately hold the top until the stainless steel supports could be fabricated.
The top went on the 2x4's with no problems. I was able to take the boat back to my slip and start wiring.
After putting the boat back in the slip I went down to the local boat yard and talked with the stainless fabricator and set up an appointment for him to take a look at the top.
This is the part that went the easiest. He showed up on time and the work was finished in about four days.
I was very happy with his work.
In the next part I will show some of the reining and the installation to the the stainless supports.
