Geoffrey Smith created a 3500 pound bronze sculptor of a 16 ft tall marlin jumping out of the water in pursuit of a school of tuna. This artwork is in front of the new Harborage Yacht Club in Stuart Florida. The artwork is just magnificent to see up close and I can't wait to see it with water in the fountain. But here are a few pictures of it being installed.
It was easier for Geoffrey Smith to polish it before it went up.
It was finally moving and ready to be stood upright.
Now the huge bolts have to be threaded into the stainless steel plate.
Now the Marlin can be temporarily put on the pedistal to find out where to drill the holes for the bolts.
The guys measured and are taking care of the bolt holes that need to be drilled
Incredibly this huge monster will be glued to the pedistal with epoxy which will hold 7000 lbs of pressure .
It looks like the long awaited project that started over a year ago is now just about finished.
