Haven't done a cap off on a V-20 myself, but here to offer moral support!

I would recommend having more than a couple guys to move them around, or heavier equipment like a set of decent gantry cranes. Scaffolding and a pair of chain hoists would work if set up right. The hulls are reported to weigh 1920 lbs from Wellcraft before they had all the bolt on stuff and years of water logging etc. Dividing that weight between the hull and cap is still a decent amount of weight to get away from you if you find the weak link in whatever your rigging equipment ends up being. What you lack in technical prowess you need to make up for in redneck ingenuity. What I have found messing around with project boats is that having the right stuff to do the job makes things a whole lot easier, safer, and fewer mishaps.
