Guest geroze Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Due to an assorted number of valid and invalid excuses, i have not worked on my Weekender for over a year. But now.... gonna git back at it. Somewhere i remember someone having a plan for a roll around cradle/dolley to sit the boat in and move it around. Was i wishful dreaming or does anyone have any ideas. It is great to see that everyone is still working at their passion. Thanks Glnroz from Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pennington Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Cut a slot in the cross peices for the keel. And carpet the top edges of the ply cross pieces. So your boat is not only resting on the keel but the bottom ply too. Don't forget the casters : the locking kind are cool. If you build the frame right, when you flip the boat to fiberglass the bottom, you can use the same dolley. As long as the cabin fits down between the cross peices. The frame width is as wide as the deck. Good luck, working on your boat, you won't regret the effort. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave R1 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did one for my Weekender using four 8 foot 2x6s, joist hangers and a few scraps. If you want a plan I could surely draw you one. In the meantime, here are some pictures. The last one shows the boat immmediately after being inverted onto the dolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave R1 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ken, we can't look at pictures on harddrive. Post the pictures somewhere on the internet--here in the gallery or on Photobucket. Then you can link to the images. Or, if the images are small enough you can upload them directly by clicking on Additional Options below the text window in your post.
