I have seen this over and over again, doesn't matter what brand of boat it is. I do know that the water in Lake Havasu is very alkali (sp?). It seems almost harder on my boat than the salt water of the ocean.

Good point. I'm in fresh water in the great lakes. If I were in salt water I probably wouldn't leave my boat in the water for any length of time.

My 10,000 lb Hydrohoist works well with my 35. At LOTO most leave them on the hoists year round. Let's hope that we don't get any more ice!

Diameter of the tanks is 33 inches

outside tanks are 23.5 feet

centet tank is 9 feet

Galva Lift is the maker. Thanks, Tom

I am just outside of Toronto. By the time I pay a carrier to bring that home I think I would be better off to find something closer to home. Thanks for the advice though!!!

I'm getting a 20000 pound HydroHoist next week for my brand new 38 Fountain. I too am a bit nervous about using this lift which I never anticipated buying until the dealer convinced me it is sacreligious to put bottom paint on a new Fountain.

If you have the model B there are four posts tie a rope to the stern post after you try a couple of time to see where the boat sits best then tie off to a cleat.the rope acts as a stopping point evey time then just lift.
