Withe the trailer Calkins trailer finally ready for use, it was time to put it under the '79. My friend, Mike, loaned me a huge lift/crane that Don and I used to lift the boat. First, we had to get the tow strap under the boat and around the stern so we could jack the heavy end up with the crane. Then we attached a strap to the bow eye and ran that to a ceiling bracket to lift the bow. After we had it high enough, we pulled the white trailer out and pushed the Calkins trailer under the boat. When we had it all aligned, we lowered the boat and removed the straps.

It Looks Great
What an astounding transformation! I love the new color. It’s actually more engaging than the old one. Having a boat trailer is really efficient. You’ll be able to have a boat trip anytime you want because you have that trailer to help bring your boat to and out of the river.
