2025 Devlin Snow Goose Thread

Tod

I've lifted outboards off transoms many times with a cherry picker engine hoist. When you go that route you will want to get a lift ring for your outboard motor. Best way I know to remove/replace an outboard on a transom. Ebay or Amazon has them.
Sounds good, thanks.
 
Some people advise affixing both clamps the same day so as not to distort your hull. Maybe with 3/8" ply it is less of a concern. RM
I'd read that in Devlin's book, at least for right-side up builds. But made a calculated guess that with the stern epoxied in place, all the glass and epoxy on the hull, and other bulkheads underneath, the risk was low. When I epoxy them in later, I'll get that done in a day.
 
Looks good, I bet that was a pain working upside down to put those screws in. :)
Really not bad. The area under the bow section is tight (squeezing between strongback frames), but aft of that was simple either sitting on the ground or on a rolling stool.

My strongback has proven to be a decent balance of conflicting needs. It's a few inches too tall so I've needed a stool to stand on to reach the keel on the back half of the boat... but any lower and it would be a struggle to work under it.
