Miracles never cease! The boat has finally been righted. That's right, it now is sitting in it's intended position. I had a couple of friends come over after work last Friday to help flip it over. I was actually easier than I had anticipated. Once we got the semantics worked out, it only took about 10 minutes to actually turn her over. I prepared for this momentous occasion by supporting the hull on some jackstands and then proceeded to remove the jig from underneath it. I left (and strapped) one mold on the hull to help hold its shaped during the rollover.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Time spent, approximately 3 hours.
