Here are four photos showing how I lifted Microtrawler to the trailer. I bypassed
the dry dock for now, because when I got it up on the second set of keel blocks, I
chickened out. I used a small floor jack to do the lifting. I will, however,
lower the dry dock and use it for refitting and painting later. The keel blocks are
made from construction site scraps, no cost. |

Here are the pictures of the initial launch of MT. No sea trials as of yet. I
need to get a new prop, as the rpm's were too high, so after that I will take her out for
a complete shakedown. She handles very nicely and I think this is a keeper.
Great boat for grandkids too. They love driving it and crawling all over it.Initial Launch - Snake River, Twin Falls, Idaho |
Amateur - should have done this before backing up. |
Oops, tailpipe of Toyota short bed 6" under water |
OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH |
Completed trailer with bunks etc. Tongue needs 4"
extension for Toyota. |
