First of all, NICE BOAT!!!! That boat used to be in my area and was named "Keyed Up".

When I first got the lift for my TG, It had 2 X 10's set at an angle. I wasn't comfortable with that, so I had them install 20 foot long 4 x 6's that sat on top of an I-beam with the 4" side flat on the top. The strakes on the TG are 4.5" wide and are basically a flat surface. Make sure that you have the bunks far enough back to support the transom!!!! From the inside of the strake to the inside of the strake on the other side is 48.5" apart. My bunks are 50" apart sitting on the lift and work great. If you would like (and it warms up a little!!) I can take a few pictures of my lift this weekend and post them for you.

gb, my bunks are 38 inch pass the lift, thats so the transom doesn't hang with no support.

gb HAPPY BIRTHDAY! say hello to karen and emily . jim and meg

thanks jim tell meg thx & hello is the lagoon freezing yet? i had my pilings installed for the lift. my arms are getting welded and galvanized as we speak cant wait for this season.

my lagoon is frozen but not that thick, if u need a hand let me know.

Make sure the boat sits nose-high so that the water (that will inevitably get in) flows to the rear vs. the nose, rotting everything out.
