At last, someone will transport our boat

Last week Casey from Casey Haulage Darwin visited the boat, both premises and checked out the 10km route between them. Tom was impressed with his careful but confident attitude. Casey asked all the important questions, was prepared to take on the job, and quoted a fair price. So he will be arriving tomorrow afternoon to load the boat on the trailer, which will remain parked in the shed overnight. At first light the next day, he will return with two escorts and a pilot, and the boat will be transported to our new place.

There was one final boat building task that Tom wanted to complete prior to losing the convenience of a strong overhead structure in the shed – installing the Sea Wasp 7200 genset in the front cockpit.

A slot was cut in the front cockpit roof to allow the chain hoist to be suspended centrally to the final position of the genset.
