<font color='black' size='3' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Rather than a roll around A-frame in my restricted work space, I have a fixed hoist built in pieces and assembled in the attic with vertical knee-braced support posts bolted to the floor and a ceiling hatch through which a chain fall can operate. The trailer goes outside. I lift the sub off and set it on a beefy open bottom pallet (wood) which I can then shift around easily with a $300 pallet jack from Harbor Freight. The whole deal cost just a few hundred bucks and does not compromise my floor space at all (beyond the obvious).

<div>Sean,</div>
<div>I borrowed this 0.5 ton gantry from a friend. Lifted all the heavy parts with it and I was able to lift half the sub with the chain, and the other half with a jack or engine hoist so I could move the entire boat around. Not a massive gantry, but did the job. I also made 2x roll around cradles to spin the hull around on. 1 had wheels on so I could move it all around.</div>
