<p>Nice, I made a very similar trolley. I was rushed to move my Tiki off the front lawn (neighbors complained), so I put a simple trolley together with my doubts about how well it would work. Now I'm sold on it. <br></br> It made moving her around corners so easy. <br></br>Once she was balanced on it, I could practically move it on my own (except on the lawn). <br></br>Bigger wheels would be awesome. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Thomas Nielsen said:…</cite></p>

<p>Tsunamichaser is back in the water! After the first rot found on the forward beam, no more problems of significance was found. The oak lamination issue continued to show up throughout the repair and cockpit seat stringers needed replacement bit the hull, other beams and cockpit all proved solid.

<p>And, in the water! In these photos, I have the rear beam sitting on the aft deck, with the cockpit suspended from a 4x4, while I remove and replace the beam locating blocks. Originals were ply, and soaking wet! New ones are teak. . .<a href="http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad131/kgwoo/Vaea/IMG_0002-9.jpg" target="_blank">http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad131/kgwoo/Vaea/IMG_0002-9.jpg…</a></p>

<p>Tsunamichaser is out of the water and in Scott's garage! It's a tight fit. Makes me think that a discussion about where we build Wharrams might be interesting. Some have HUGE shops that create envy, other build in the jungle, on top of a mountain and there are those who even build in their apartment. We are a crazy bunch!</p>

<p>More parts have been pulled off of Tsunamichaser. She is truly empty now except for the minimum required to get her to the boat ramp where I'll pull her from the water. It is amazing how shallow the draft is when empty. In the mean time I have finished repairs on the forward beam. As you can see, after I cut off the rotten part of the top flange, I filled in the back area of the web with solid timber (both ends for symmetry and spliced in new short section of flange.

<p>More parts have been pulled off of Tsunamichaser. She is truly empty now except for the minimum required to get her to the boat ramp where I'll pull her from the water. It is amazing how shallow the draft is when empty. In the mean time I have finished repairs on the forward beam. As you can see, after I cut off the rotten part of the top flange, I filled in the back area of the web with solid timber (both ends for symmetry and spliced in new short section of flange. The logic to this was that the in fill piece would tie every thing together and the wider web would resist/assist in carrying compressive loads. The last coats of epoxy are curing so the next step will be paint. As a note of interest, I have always epoxied all fastener holes on this boat. I think that there may be an issue with dissimilar hardness's that can cause problems when an item like a cleat "works" it's fasteners in the hole. Eventually something gives, in this case the wood, creating micro cracks that allow in water - just a hypothesis at the moment but the cleat on the forward beam where the rot occurred has been used in mooring the boat over the last five years.</p>
