Boat and trailer in travel lift straps

George standing in front of The Sweet Forever.
After gently lowering the boat into the water (trailer and all) George discovered a serious leak in the stern tube and had to haul her back out, but not before running the engine with the new impeller for the water pump. It ran great. The Sweet Forever is currently resting on jack stands at Pier Side Boatworks on the Charleston Navy Base, awaiting a fresh coat of bottom paint and leak repair. We should be cruising very soon. GOOD JOB DAD :)

Pier Side Boatworks

Positioning The Sweet Forever so the travel lift operator can rig straps to lift the boat and put in water.
