Hello all, I have been toying around with these spreader bars Michael made me a while back, and I came up with this  Perhaps I was drinking too much, not sure but the ULF inspector said everything was a go. So we brought in one of our larger machines to get started.     I love longlines!  Thanks for the look, now hiring!

Living up to your user name!!!!! thats fairly impressive!!,would never thought they'd hold up that weight,you're being brave too as the last few scares that we've had from conrad's cranes  so 2 cc8800 means you had twice the fun of me reeving the hook block lol,those were the days.... 
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Hello, Thank for all of the comments! As for the scene, that 8800 is heavily modified, 700 dollars in metal pendant lines the boom sections are bolted (no plastic pins) it has brass pulleys and Musky Master line....etc. So I trust it to hold a little bit of weight for a short period of time. The "other" 8800 is the white and blue Sarens piece that is stock except for the Musky Master line.
Thanks again,
Mark
