Normally I'd say try Craigslist but with Irma on the way I bet they're in reserve. Probably find one in a couple of weeks. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at 5:26 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: I may have to purchase an electric chain

In my case, each of the 3 boats were left at rental properties I owned, and "likely" were such project boats when they "arrived" then were abandoned when the renter simply didn't want to move or store them. Rent income is also based on turn time... and a rent house with a skanky boat left setting

Funny, I was reading on a boat forum the opposite recommendation about chainsaw versus saw-z-all. Comments were to the effect that the chain would be ruined and far more dust and debris created by a chainsaw, but a saw-z-all was a better tool for the job. - Max Charleston SC On Fri,

No, this would be post-storm. Right now we're gathering up some of the stuff like papers and invaluable items (wedding album) but we're not going to do too much more unless the forecast changes and sends Irma our way again. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at 9:49 AM, Craig

The upper structure is very simple, just three risers on each side that support wooden bunkers which are curved to fit the hull of the sailboat. They are pretty rusty, I'd rather start over with clean rust-free metal. Somewhere I've got a picture I should post here. - Max Charleston

Way too late for that! There's a certain white cabriolet languishing in the garage that I need to get running... In my mind, this is the perfect excuse to get a simple stick welder, learn a new skill, and save some $$$ all at once. Looking at Harbor Freight and Eastwood catalogs, for about $200
