The design was quite a challenge, I have dimensions if anyone wants them.
Also the rear attach to the V8 engine stand picks up on 4 points, the 2 tow hooks and the step mount. Also note a separate device is needed to support the engine whilst it is upside down.

Additional considerations are to have the front and rear axles inline, I used a laser for it and check by eye,
Last photo shows how to connect bow hitch of ski, this is an old trailer jockey wheel and clamp, it’s important to clamp the front axle when turning ski to provide friction. We used 2 people but 3 would be easier

Looks like the mov/vids are not working in my posts, if anyone can tell me why thanks.
Photo of the hull damage attached

I used flow it on the bottom and resin on the sides, unfortunately the resin ended up a bit sticky maybe because of the black pigment I added

OK, looks like video files work on PC but not mobile devices, eg they have to downlosded to be viewed
