After that special rock at Peace River we had a few things to repair so we used the press.

The press worked awesome, excellent control, 100 times easier than banging away with a sledge or drilling holes and pulling!! But we had to be careful as the press has more than enough power.  Its amazing how fast and accurate we were able to get by taking our time, some shims and a little heat to allow the metal to relax and reset itself so we didn't stretch or deform it. It sure helps having a fabricating shop (Steel Industries) as a sponsor! I can't thank Mark enough for the countless hours of work he puts into the boat!! It's a pretty good deal, I wreck it and he fixes it.  But you know what they say, it's always the navigators fault.

You should see what that press will do to a deck of cards. Just like 1/4 alum when you are done. Or my last cell phone less than 1/8 thick
