Yea I have them resting on the wife's crutch.lol and a nice block of wood on the floor not the seat cushions. The issue is I would like to raise and lower it by myself. I could do it if I lowered it to the rear of the boat but it sticks up the air about 10 feet. So it won't fit no matter what in the garage. I could do that going backwards by myself. So going forward one person my height can't reach the top of the tower when it reaches the middle. It's about ten feet in the air. Plus once you go past center it gets real heavy. And it will fall forward or backwards if your not hanging on to it. I might just buy a step flat ladder that will fit in the walk way.

That's cool history - let's kick this around a bit.

Omar had two nicknames, "Little O" & "Manos de Seda" (Hands of Silk). There's certainly potential for a quality name in there.

Also the fact that it was part of the divorce settlement has some potential as well. BB is kind of a wordsmith with his boat's names, I'm sure he's got some ideas.

That's one fine looking boat Jim. You'll treasure that one for a long time. I used to have a boat on Lake Washington. Had a 42 foot Grand Banks trawler that I lived aboard. Parked right under the big bridge. Most of the time I berthed her at a 50 foot covered slip in Everett but it was always fun to come down and go through the locks to get into the lake.

I thought I was the only one that looked at old threads. Lol
A7 even pulled one out of the cellar yesterday.

Right some of those oldies were good. I remembered this one from the baseball player and my tower issue. I think I just bought mine then?

I'm still in a big learning curve on these smaller boats. If you need to know how to use a sextant or how to use a Bowditch...or maybe navigate to Alaska then I can help. But these smaller craft, I have a lot to learn.
