The Purchase
The following weekend we made our second trip to Iroquois. We had made a deal with the owner through the week and had only to present him with our cheque to make it all official. We decided to meet at the marina and use our trip there to prep her for shipment and to pick up the bits that were onboard and in the owners possession. The following are the pictures we took that day. Our nieces, Sadie and Olivia joined us for the long trip to Iroquois. Here is what we discovered.

Friday October 11......got the news that our new six pad cradle was delivered to Iroquois Marine Services. One week earlier we were informed by our transport company that the cradle our boat was in was putting excessive pressure on the boat due to a bad fit. The four pad cradle she came with was far too small for her and could cause damage if she was moved. We contacted Francois (Frank) Perrier, a welder in Gatineau who advertised custom cradles on Kijiji. Frank not only provided us with a very competitive price but also delivered our cradle to Iroquios right on time. This picture was taken before it was painted red. Notice our names were welded onto it. We got the news from the marina on Saturday October 12 that the new cradle fit our boat perfectly. Thank you Frank! We would be happy to recommend your excellent services to anyone. If you are in need of a custom cradle for
your Aloha or any other boat, you can reach Frank at
(819-776-5794) or check out his ad on Kijiji in Gatineau PQ.
