Did you by chance get the single point four leg lifting sling with it? There should be four lifting pads on it, two about a third of the way back from the bow and the other two just ahead of the engine compartment. If not, a crane company can lift it with a 100 to 150 ton hydraulic truck...

There are several that would like the work, you're just going to have to contact them. Look at the smaller boat yards first that have the hoist capable of lifting the weight of the boat. Our outfit has three aluminum LCM-8's (46 tons) and here in our part of Ohio, there is ONE marina that can...

Our "Group" has an extra engine, been sitting for a while, I'll see if maybe they want to part with it, Our M-37 runs well and we don't put a lot of miles on it so the engine might be considered 'excess' to our needs. I'll let you know.

I looked at the 211/135 seats and there is NOT much difference, that's for sure. They didn't re-invent the wheel just for racks then like they would today. Just a much easier and common sense approach to it then.

Think I've got some troop rack hardware, most likely enough for a whole set here in Ohio. (you can have it, its been sitting around here quite a while, just pay shipping, or pick it up if you're over this way for the Findlay Ohio show. I've an original CCKW/CCW early all steel cargo bed, the...

At least you've got a goo0d looking machine there, A member our HMV club here has a nice one and won't sell it. I HAD an older M-62 with a Continental R6602 in it, the rig needed quite a bit, and was planning to do it, but... (convinced my wife that because I had a 5 ton cargo and at that time...

Welcome from Sandusky. You'll find a good bunch of helpful people on here, and depending where in the state you are, there's parts for most everything, (like the Findlay, Ohio Armed Forces weekend event, vendors from all over the COUNTRY end up there.

I've got one here in Ohio thats been on the shelf for awhile if you're interested. Can check to see what shipping would be with an address.

You caught them just in time. If you can have somebody get to Sandusky, Ohio, I'll let you have them. (they'll fit in the back of a pick-up easily or an SUV if you don't carry a bunch of kit. Know anybody coming up to the National Rifle and Pistol Matches at Camp Perry? I can hang onto them...

GeneralDisorder is right, we've used the same tool successfully multiple times, and also cleaning all parts is KEY to putting them back together. They go in by hand without difficulty. If not, there's another problem. DO NOT FORCE THEM, the do bend.

I've got another little watercraft project here too. Fibreglas, a bit older, and contract built for the Army. A River Assault Boat, built by Correct-craft. They nested in each other and were carried in the back of a deuce or on a short trailer. Only know of one more on a trailer with an...

I've got TWO of those here in Ohio that we secured for our youth mentoring programs and found out too late they had been DEMILLED, and SERIOUSLY. Those troopers in Kentucky (where the paperwork said they were released from) SERIOUSLY over reacted when it came to cutting the air chambers. They...

we always make sure there's a back up plan like this. Always another fried/club member with the club's 'recovery kit' waiting for a call tht usually doesn't come but if it does, its a WHOLE LOT less than a recovery wrecker. (a deuce doesn't fit normal roll backs)

Its worse all round, our regional historic preservation and public education organization (I'll not use its name here, you all understand why) has /had access to Government excess property to use in our youth mentoring programs. (we have two that we sponsor) It was a neat way to secure things...

I'm in as well, and THANKS.
