pics look great, even for a cell phone camera. i don't want to be a spoiler, but, i was wondering how compact and secure the ground is underneath the support jacks.

the ground is compact and secure. I have kept my 27 carver on it. know the Carver weighs less but the stands never sunk into the ground.

All of the stands and the blocks are on 30"x30"x 3/4" plywood pads to spread the load out more.

I I didnt piss off my neighbor last year, this is nothing!

Last winter I had 4 boats there, my 27 Carver, my 22 Pursuit, a buddy's 27 IMP, and my Caribe RIB.

everyone teased about it being called the boat yard.

I live on a dead end street, only 3 houses, woods beside me, main road and industrial park 200 feet behind me (through the trees.)

My neighbor beside me, we have a 15' buffer of thick pine, and my neighbor across the street has told me in the past, I cant surprise or offend him, he has 5 kids!

Anyway, I must get a new camera for the progress. I will be slow until I sell my Carver.

Mine is sitting beside my barn but I find it aggravating, always reminding me of my Sloth in not getting my rear in gear and finishing. :lol:

Geez Larry, what are you waiting for? A personal invitation from the yacht club to bring that thing over there? ;)

Nice F boat OP. I like the blue bottom with the black stripe. Some day I'll get mine back that way.
