    The yard at Riviera Beach had a 2-week wait, but Fort Pierce was able to take us right away.  Customers can use any contractors they want, and the yard provides a list of vetted contractors for out-of-towners like me.  Prices are reasonable ... accounting for contractor work, we'll pay a bit less than we'd pay at a yard where they only allow in-house labor.  I think the forklift was $75 for 30 minutes.  Every spot has power and water, but no overnighting so we're at a Hamptons Inn.  

    It's interesting ... the longer you stay, the rate actually goes up instead of down.  They want people to come in, do their work, and get out.  Boat storage is not allowed.  

    And oddly, this forum bleeps me for trying to use the word Cr@cker!   :D

    @TonyG13 -- Four nuts that came off easily, and the yard forklift!  The whole thing took about 15 minutes.  Honestly, I budgeted two full days to get those lock mechanisms out.  It took about three hours.  
    Only 4 nuts? I think you missed one….  :D

    My other project for this week:  replaced the four air conditioners up in the flybridge under the helm.  Two of them serve the bridge, and two are for the salon.  Actually I installed two a couple weeks ago, and then decided to do the other two.  They were all acting like 14-year-old air conditioners, and two of them would not produce heat no matter how I tried.  Also I upsized the bridge units from 12k to 16k.

    @captkevin - I hope just a few more days.  He started working on the locks Friday, and he has a guy with a CNC mill if custom parts are needed.  I might need to bust out a second credit card if we start getting into expedited build fees!
