The engine is finally in the boat. It has not reached its final destination yet but its up and in the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In itself this was a pretty straight forward operation: pick up the engine, raise it over the boat and down in the hole.The bigger challenge has been to find someone with a boom truck big enough and willing to help us out.It was a few weeks of searching, asking around, phone calls and disappointing results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple summers ago we had to work on our septic system, that had brought me to Boyds Bros Concrete (they make concrete septic tanks and distribute piping) where I had noticed the big boom truck. Why not tempt my luck and find out if they could help? Done deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Things floating in the air make me nervous. I know there is nothing to fear, 800lbs was no load for that boom but it just feels wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
