Still have some rigging to do and final finnishes, like the lines to the remote oil filter hit the flame arrestor, didnt expect that.
The hoe really was better then the crane. You had to deal with the slack and wind with the crane, always fighting with the cable. With the hoe it was just tiny movements, with an oporator doing this for 20 years it helps

That's pretty creative, but a regular engine crane in the garage always worked for me. I wouldn't want any of my boats near that scene!
