    cradle. I built mine on top of my bunk trailer for the Avanti using plywood and dimensional lumber. a standard bunk trailer will not have enough support for a restoration. Especially if you pull the cap. think of a tuperware container. once you pull the lid, you can squish the rim around.

    I only know of the C-hook because I watched motors going in on a few boats. On some high-dollar boats, the deck comes off to pull the motors

    Polaris hawkeye drive belt rattle.

    did a quick search of some of the ATV forums. it appears it was a common issue back 15 years ago. this one states that it was "adjusted" and the noise went away. https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/threads/polaris-hawkeye-engine-noise.182694/ couldnt find anything on the adjustment.

    the fiberglass at lowes has wax in it and it is double the price of good boat yard resin. so if you have to stop, you have to sand before you can start again. did you not read the links 14, 15, 18, 2, 3, 4a, and 4b? https://forums.iboats.com/threads/how-tos-and-other-great-information.283508/
