Flipped my first Cigarette.............Beware Its Graphic
 

2 days of design and "hope this works"

Worked perfect and could not have been easier.

Pretty cool

What did the wife say about stealing the mattress? Just kidding nicely done. Now figure out how to support the bow and you have a full rotisserie!

My rotisserie:

The transom bracket looks similar

Great engineering to both. The scariest part of Brians was the stains on the mattress.

Nice work Brian!

We need a dub-step version. :)

yep its way easier working on them when the boat is on its side,,up side down it a pain in the azz to work on,,cant get comfortable in any position..nice engineering..i use a square box looking doo hicky when i roll them over..a big 10' round wheel works gr8 bolted to the transom..you can get the wheel off a left over power cable reel that is left over from the high power lines..

That's awesome! We use the capsizer 8000 and also have smaller rotisserie. But looks like it worked pretty good. It can be scary!

Brian if you want said power cable real...I have a couple, all yours man!!!!

Flipped a few boats in the past but i Love the idea of not going all the way over and being able to work on the bottom from the side while standing up instead of kneeling on the bottom, great idea thanks

Cool. What are you doing to the boat Brian? Straightening the bottom?

What keeps the fixture from wanting to squirt off the bow? I would think there significant force trying to push that right off the end?

I am sure he is using the front eyelet and bow light holes to secure the front mount. I was going to make a similar front mount and try my automotive rotisserie but we have work to do to the front eyelet area, we also had to move the boat 200 ft from front of shop to the booth and did not trust the small wheels on the rotisserie.

This is our 3rd winter in a row for this boat, 2 years ago we took the boat from twin 292 6 cylinders with Alpha drives to a single 496 HO with a Bravo drive. Last year we did a custom cooler in the floor, gauges, some touch up and a new trailer. This year its blueprint the bottom, refinish/repair/replace all the wood, new windshield, replace or refinish all the hardware and paint the entire boat with color changes.

Yes. The front yoke is secured at the bow eye mounting point and through the top lifting cleat hole. Both attachment points are structural. I can spin the hull to any angle and it's as stiff as a wedding dick.

All homemade with scrap steel from work.

Brian, are you "blueprinting" your hull?

Are you sure the engine compartment pictures are from the same boat???
What a difference!!!

Yes its the same boat. It was a lot of work with a new transom, stringer change, wiring harness from dash to engine, shifter, custom exhaust and relocated the batteries from bow to engine bay.

Engine compartment looks great. What Cig is that? Is this your personal boat or is a for a customer?

You should see his dyno facility!!

I forgot about this thread until I saw a link to it today. Boat is a customers and it has come a long way but it is currently at a stall since the beginning of August.

At some time during its past life somebody went wild with a grinder on the boat and painted over their sin. We striped it to bare glass made many repairs and making it flat and true from end to end. All work was done with glass and gel coat with no fillers.

Here is how it looks today.

Looks great Brian!!!!

Can you tell me more about the capsizer and other rotisserie ideas? I like what FIXX did and something like that might work very well.

Making some headway with ideas...thanks for all of them...keep noodling and I'll post pictures good or bad as to how this all turns out. Planning on getting started with operation square peg/round hole tomorrow.

Nothing else like a black beauty. Wow looks great!
