A few hundred???try several thousand....These are caddy boat lifts not that poly air bullchit. SUNSTREAM FLOATLIFT. Check them out- www.sunstreamboatlifts.com
It is in a protected marina anyways. NO OFFENCE to anyone that has another type of lift...
I too agree with the fuel issue....who want to leave the tanks topped off anyways.

Put some outboards on that baby and you have a pontoon boat.:D

It does look nice.

10-4 doc,
Funny you should mention that...At the boat show I have them on display out of the water and everyone want to know "where is the steering wheel" or "where does the BBQ go" flippin tire kickers:chimp:
I do use a outboard to deliver them...just bolt one on and launch it...

Re: 36 Outlaw wet weight
 

Westcoast,

When I purchased mine (for a 99 36 owtlaw - loaded) I was between a 10,000 and a 12,000 lb lift. I went with the 12,000 HydroHoist Cable Lift. It handles my boat just fine. Now, would the 10,000 have worked? I don't know. I have not actually weighed the boat but like most of the replies figure it in the 9500 to 10500 range depending on fuel load etc.

I will agree with Dock as I would always go with more than needed. I had the opportunity to witness an "Brand X" lift fall apart under a 35 Cigarette Playboy. It was not a pretty site and needless to say there was considerable damage to the boat and the lift was a total loss.

Hope this will help in you decision.

What brand did you witness, and how much was the lift rated for? I have heard of bent arms, but never complete failure.

It was rated for 12,000 lbs.

Problem was the arms were but welded together without any braceing. Once the first one let go the rest followed very quickly.

I can't remember the actual brand name at the moment but I think made in Missssouri. Was not HydroHoist of Poly Lift. The tanks was a large plastic box, not tubes as used in most lifts.

Probably Econo lift, Carvel, or fibersteel. Just goes to show that you get what you pay for. Thanks for responding. That is the first time I have heard of a failure that catostrophic.
