Yes, thanks Ian. That was what i imagined it to look like too.

But xs asured me that it was not possible with my boat due to its size.

Even if they have the biggest forklifter in the neighbourhood im told.

But i kept aiming at the goal, and i have a good solution for the transport.

And now i have seen it in production, looks good as far as you can tell from pictures.

Contract says ”ready end of april”, so its getting close now.

Moving to RHIB hire. Not getting the use of it. Better boat for less overall cost [emoji4]

Finally the boat is home in Sweden.

There was a lot of things going well and some dont.

I did go over to UK leagally coronawise, and i did leave my trailer and had a look at it before shipping.

Corona and vat-rules made it hard to bring it on water back home, but i will do that trip the other way soon enough.

Im only had it on water for a few hours, before leaving Sweden for some vacation.

There are some minor fixings to do ofcourse, nothing is perfect. But overall seems well built and on water it felt very secure.

In juli im starting to put real hours on it i hope.

Thanks again for all comunication on the subject.
