I can definitely recommend them, Chris is a very nice guy and well priced. regards John I like this. A proper lifting frame in use. It is when they just use the strops without one that you get the problems with canopies, stanchions, wheelhouse etc. I don't know what sort of boat Orca is but insist a frame is used.

JawsOrca Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'll try to get hold of GMR again.. I like the way they have supports built into the trucks and clearly have experience. Chris, Orca's a typical 28 foot cruiser (bit like an Elysian) but with a hard top so certainly needs the cradle (spreader bars).. most haulers have these anyway and we wouldn't use anyone that hasn't. Jon I've found your mobile I'll give you a call a bit later too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 JA at any point was you worried your humans would put in a nice bit of plastic or glass in there? (now there's an idea?! - Probably not brilliant in the brown waters of the broads though). (Hat's off as usual to your humans.. that's some scary project....

JawsOrca Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi Jon, I'll try you again today.. You returned my call yesterday but I somehow missed you. Problem being we don't have a crane this side, I'll explain on the phone when I reach you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Who put it where it is now? Can you not reuse them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not reuse them No and for legal reasons I can't explain online (and although I can get transport up from the elsewhere a local company would be cheaper). Jon.. I'll you you again in a bit. I can't do today (probably 3 - 4 weeks time) as we still have the repairers onsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyPatricia Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I could tell the world the whole story Alan, or the forum at least. After all it would only be hearsay then 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm sure that when the time's right, Alan will tell us all he can. I for one await with great interest, however in the meantime I must say to Alan... Someday you will look back on all this and burst into floods of tears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I, too, could tell the whole story but wouldn't dream of breaking a confidence but I will say this, Alan has been to hell and back over all of this, if he wants to tell the world about it that's up to him, if not, be totally respected for it Let's hope he gets the Hiab (whatever that ruddy is lol), ok, crane thinghy sorted as soon as possible, good luck Jaws Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Lol thanks guys..trust me you don't want to know the story.. it really was a real life shark attack.. In the words of the film you wont want to go back in (or out) of the water ever again!! I also don't want to unduly ruin people reputations so believe it or not I'm being bloody nice by not saying anything! (just incase they are watching this). I will try and put some advice up of what I've learnt when the times right but I need to get the boat sorted first and then just I need to check with my lawyers again with how much I can say without getting told off! (and again without trying to do people any undue harm). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Alan that is like a red rag to a bull - Of course we all want to know the story Hopefully all can be revealed in the future once all the dust has settled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
