    Years ago my buddy was trying to get his ranger to run better and after talking to forest wood he recommended pad work.
    we removed everything from boat and found some old tires and wet the bunks and applied dish soap to them anchored the boat and slowly pulled boat off onto tires then we rounded up all our buddy's and flipped it over on more tires.
    He went to work reconfigure pad with in put from forest wood .
    Personaly I would take it to a shop with sling and overhead crane and let them do the work. But you can do it because we did it.
    That was the fastest ranger I ever rode in .

    Ya i have a shop and couple forklifts was going to take motor off and battery's then make a bracket that spins on one pipe inside another pipe thats milled to fit inside then strap the front with a big strap and come along it up and hopefully it spins not paying a shop a couple thousand or afford it really.

    I have a gorilla hull on my 07 520 ranger and they flip every boat that has the Gorilla installed over. Its cool and kinda strange seeing your boat upside down lol.

    They have a over head crane in their shop. Everything naturally has to be out of the boat and empty of gas.I did find this on you tube.

    Remember to remove all fuel. Batteries. Normally they remove the seats too. If you have power poles, remove them and suck out the oil (from reservoir) with a turkey baster.
