Lifted the Saratogan today......

08-25-2010, 09:30 PM

Lifted the Saratogan off the cradle today so I could paint the keel under the cradle. Used eight jack stands. Those near the bow with 12 feet of overhang were maxed out. Guess the old girl weighs about 10k lbs!? Looking good. Now to install all the trim and seal the windows....

I'm glad to finally have all the bottom paint on!! Two coats of epoxy barrier coat and two coats of Copper Poxy. Took almost a week!
