Hydrohoist do have well known name. They are a good lift to. But I wouldn't trade mine for one. Just food for thought.

Re: hydrohoist question
All you gotta do is get your bunks adjusted correctly... find your center of gravity thru trial and error...and no problemo. You'll have to "drive" the lift, though, as opposed to the bigger ones, meaning put a little air in the front, then even it out at the back, then the front, then back, etc. I even had to do this with my 29 Powerquest, though...I think it's because the pontoon are a little short compared with the length you are lifting.

Re: hydrohoist question
I definitely would not buy a Hydrohoist from the East, or the MidWest.
The only ones that are worth a damn are on the West coast. . . . 9000lbs on the West Coast is like 12000lb anywhere else.
Fortunately for you, I know a guy that has a 9000lb'er for cheap ( like $4500 ), and MAY be willing to sell it to you.
He's a Great Guy.
