It's not front page worthy because :

Op created this thread just to stylishly advertise his work

There is absolutely nothing practical to learn from the thread... Op stylishly left out the details of his construction in order to avoid boys hijacking his trade.. Wise one there

Nairaland front-page isn't for adverts and half stories.... Thank you very much

So I told the boys to dey whine am

It was high tide so the ...

The more they turned the winch, the boat started moving upwards ...which was a big relief for me. Then I noticed the handle of the winch needs to be converted to a big wheel so the turning would be much easier.

That's what I did next time I visited the site.

The water is so deity,how come

The water is so deity,how come

Na so o! during rainy season all the tributaries from the mainland empty into the rivers and they come with a lot of sediments so that's why the water is murky.

After some time whining the thing...I come shift back go look under the boat. I see say the thing don suspend.

And this is highest tide o! so the lift worked. at low tide the boat you see here would be almost 1m above the water level. so I took more pictures from different angles

This is the face of a happy guy. And the face of a guy way just escape gbese

THE END

NEXT TIME

....on WHEN FAILURE ISNT AN OPTION.

Building a boat lift that can lift 2 Jetskies at the same time and can also be used to lift a boat when the Jetskies are not around.

You left an important part of when you installed what you constructed inside the water

PEACE BE UNTO YALL.
Thanks for watching

Nothing is inside the water. the boatlift is just standing inside the water like a table. I used a 1ft x 1ft plate on each leg so that it doesn't sink inside the mud.

1ft plate? How sustainable and practical is that? Considering the weight of the boatlift and the boat itself, what if it sinks or slide?

EkoErrands:
Had to use my truck to tow the boat....as them no gree tow am by themselves. this wasn't part of my contract

ended up bending my tow bar now my truck looks like a lowbed from behind ...I regretted it but even today I don't think I had an option.

Bumper hitch, not tow bar.

EkoErrands:
These bolts holding the hard wood had to be flush mounted so they don't scratch the hull of the boat. I can't allow my work to kill my client ...I love him

Look into countersink drill bits.

There are other design considerations in terms of how I welded the cross bracing ...that ensures the 1ft x 1ft plates don't sink into the mud.

it worked!

EkoErrands:
Said a little prayer. and thinking what could go wrong? I have crossed all my T's and dotted all my I's . I just had to submit to my God jare...no be me Sabi pass...

if I eff up. I'm dead.

even the man way sublet to me didn't come for the testing. fear no gree am. his staff sef no come.

My brother and sisters, for this life na only God you get o! and your mama. My mother dey on top this matter too o! she knows the meaning if e no work.

Lol. I sure know this feeling. Kudos man for your perseverance!!!
