stuart..a franna with a fly can reach about 17 metres..usually about $120 an hour...would flip the boat no worries.

Stuart,
Pic of what a Franna looks like.This is the AT 15.
Regards david
Stuart thanks for the great story and photos. Have thought about building one for a while now and you just got me going again. Once i moove up your way and will hopefully have the room i will look at it again. Leigh
So a Franna looks the goods to me, how ever.... It looks like its a one man show to me, the driver only. Are these guys pretty good at their jobs? I don't mean to sound condescending, its my baby and I don't want a scratch on here. Would their be any one on this site that operates one. Could they turn this boat with out damage and with out me having to weld lugs on the boat?

Do it mate you wont look back. I have had a blast the whole way along. Where abouts you moving to mate? You could always drop in and have a look at mine.
Stu
stuart..they should be able to put slings around the boat and lift and roll using them.
I must mention...I do like your backyard gantry setup...wonderful piece of engineering.

Stuart, this is just an example of costing, with a driver.I dont know where you are situated.
$ 115 per hour minimum.
Job over and done, no worries

Out near the Ettamogah pub "spelling"is the place mate. Beautiful and quite with large parcels of land.
David
Im on the Sunshine Coast mate. Do you think would take around 30 to 1 hour to roll it over?

Yes, I was proud of it, a bit of a master piece I do say. Although I was proud of it I wont be doing it again hence the Franna. Engineering side of it was great in my minds eye, how ever the safety factor or lack their off was a bit mind blowing looking back on it.
stu a franna driver has to hold a dogging and rigging ticket so yes they r skilled in what they do he should b able to use soft woven slings that wont harm ur boat in any way, and if there a good operation they will provide a dogman with the crane so it wont b a 1 man operation , thing s u will need to point out to the crane driver is the weight if u know it ,any powerlines near the house or boat and what exactly u want done and where u want it, and if ur interested the franna driver will b able to tell u exactly how heavy the boat is once he has it in the air
Stuart,
These guys are on the Sunshine Coast

I dont know what they are like, but it is a starting pont at least

I used to fit the hyd/elec/air and just about everything else at some stage for a small while to those cranes lot's of years ago, dont think you will have much problem with the driver's coordination - it's pretty simple. The 12 tonne crane not the 15 in the pic would be big enough and less expnsive - if they still make them?
cheers fnq
