Removing the trailer; jack stands in place

Using the G&G boat lift. Attached to bow eye, lifted the boat off the trailer

Trailer now removed. Will be applying bottom "wax" from Aurora Products.

Another view of Swee Pea with the trailer removed. A one man job.

Checking the Honda 90 before we take Swee Pea out.

Engine started right up.

Clean fresh water flush.

With this flush tank bag, there is a constant supply of fresh water. You can see if there is an interruption of water from the hose. Thanks to the Brats for directing me to this accessory.

Drilled holes in the factory floorboards to accomodate the Garhaurer Davit ball mount.

Bottom view of factory floorboards. Holes were coated with epoxy.

Backing plate to be mounted under floorboards. I drilled holes to accomodate stainless tee nuts and welded to underside of backer plate.

Garhauer Davit ball mount is screwed through floorboards and into mounting plate underneath.

Ball screwed onto mounting nut.

You can see that I mounted the Garhauer "wall mount" by through bolting with bolts supplied. The mount is meant to secure around a rail, but I used half of the mount as a backing plate.

The bottom portion of the Garhauer Davit.

Davit installed. I duplicated the same mount on the port side as well to give double duty to the davit. Thanks to Dr. Bob for his advice.

New Northstar Freedom truck camper and Swee Pea

Another shot of Ford F150 4x4 with Northstar Freedom Truck camper, specifically designed for the 1/2 ton truck. Camper has AC, Queen bed, two burner stove, hot water heater, cassette toilet, shower, dinette, sink, portable microwave (can be used on the boat) and Honda 2000 generator. All the comforts of home.

Was able to tow Swee Pea using factory hitch. I changed out the surge brake actuator for a low profile Titan Ultra 70. Sweet.
