will a 9000# hydrohoist work for 35 fountain ex.anyone know?

Probably real close. I think my 42 weighs close to 10,000 pounds dry. Fuel alone can add up to another couple thousand pounds!

I went to a 20,000 pound lift. I never want to be close on important issues like that.

Good luck!

Sommerfliesby has his 35 on a 9,000 Hydro Hoist B side mount. As far as I know he has never had a problem.

It's ugly when they don't go up. According to the Fountain Web site, a 35 Exec weighs 7600 dry and holds 156 gallons of fuel. So, 156 x 6 = 936. That leaves you 500 lbs of stuff (anchor, lines etc.) before you are at capacity. The Lightning weighs a claimed 8600 and holds 164 gallons or 1000 lbs of fuel. So which do you have, if it's a lightning looks like you need side tanks....

its an ex

PM rackster he can tell ya the info you need.

I have a 10k lift under my 32' and it pops up no problem. My neighbor has the same 10k lift under his 35 Cig Cafe. It lifts it just fine and all the way out of the water, but the tanks don't come up as high as mine. So I'm thinking with a 9K lift, you might be questionable, expecially if your gas tank is full. I'd look for a bigger than the 9000 if it where me.

thanks people
know does anyone know of a 10-12k hydrohoist for sale reasonable priced.
thanks paul

Don't limit yourself to HH. Mine is a Galvalift. The steel is no different than the HH's. Same gauge and design. Main difference is HH uses FG tanks, Galva uses 1" thick poly tanks. I can hit my tanks with my props and I'll be getting the props repaired. The HH tanks can be punchured with a hammer. Another brand are Polylifts, the same as Galva lifts. Hydrohoist do have well known name. They are a good lift to. But I wouldn't trade mine for one. Just food for thought.

What area are you in ? Their are a couple of guys getting out in Haverstraw N.Y. with larger size hoists.
