YES Rick there will be foam rubber fitted so the hull dont get damged an when the handels fitted on them should be like carryin a suitcase nice an easy just go to hope not to heavy as she is a big girl nowWoW Chris.....rock the baby in its cradle!.......special handling is required though, if you don't want to make repairs when you get to the pond. Will you have padding on the contact surfaces to keep the paint damage to a minimum? :thumb2:

Good luck Chris, I'm sure she'll be fine.
Chris,
I would wish you luck in the tank but given your build skills and eye for details, I just know she will be fine.
