Hey all,
I have never seen this question asked but is there any concern with regard to hull "movement" when launching a boat? I am asking because my boat, Triton #73 from 1960, has been on land for about 10 years. During the past three years I have added resin/ mat at certain areas (like extra tabbing for the engine mounts) as well as painted the interior/ exterior. So when I do finally launch and the Travel Lift picks her up for the first time, will she bend or twist in a major way? Could the hull flex so much that paint is compromised or tabbing pops off?
I'm probably worried about nothing but wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this.
Thanks very much for any replies!
