It came back to the yard for some work. The rig was rated for 1000 tons.
I'll post pictures of the rig later.
TurboBlew, I had to work really really hard; since the boat was always going up hill even though the ramp was down hill.
The boat was sinking due to the weight.

So what did you do? Chain it to your 12 to pull it out of the water?

No that would have been too much power.
I just calculated the stresses on the rig and on the boat itself.
We had to reinforce both.

I don't remember. I think it had two 1600 hp CAT engines.
I'll down load few more. Hopefully I'll get them downloaded before midnight

Yes. They're called Bow thrusters. It moves the boat side ways during docking.
