Info needed 38 Light

Folks, If I were to buy a 38 ft Lightning, would my 10,000 lb Hydro Hoist be pushed to the limits?

Not sure on the boat weight, but you can always add an additional tank to the lift.

My buddy has a 35' Cig Cafe on his 10k lift. No problem. I would think you would be in the same area as him.

Call your hoist dealer. I think the weight limit is OK but be sure your tanks are long enough.

I have my 38 Fever on a 10,000lbs hydrohoist. It yanks it up with no problem.

Re: Info needed 38 Light

I just got my boat back in July and don't have a pic of it on the lift. My friend right in back of me has had a 88 38 Fever with big power, extension boxes and #5 speedmasters on a 10,000 lb lift. He put two motors in his hydro so it lifts it faster but holding it up is no problem.
