I thought about adding some extra supports for the front but never got around to it... It only sits on the lift 5 months a year & on a proper trailer the remainder of the time ... that being said let me know what you come up with

Will do.

My lift is an 18,000lbs. lift, but it uses shorter floats then yours I think. I purchased it from a guy with a cruiser. It is a back in lift with 6 points connecting to the dock. I also reached out to Fountain, and they sent me their recommendations as well as a pdf's with measurements. Send me a pm with your email and I will mail the info over. I can not add pics here.

Mine stays on a Polylift during the summer. It's a 15 or 16k. Google Lakelift down there can give you the measurements if needed. I have a drive on

I have a 35 lightning on a 12k side tie HH. Fountain emailed me the trailer support drawings and built bunks from that. A little trial and error involved but it wasn't too bad. Good luck!

I kept my 35 Ex, then my 38 Fever on this lift before my Donzi. The hulls are very similar. You just want to make sure to keep the bunks off the edges of the chines.

If the back bunks r longer then one step of the boat add two by sixes in the back to make up for the step. I believe for your boat it would be a 2×6 and a 1×6 added but not 100%

Also if you do this 45° the added wood to prevent the step from hitting whyal backing off if the water gets low.

I keep my 12 meter on a HH, they're both out of the water for the winter so I'll try and post some pictures of the HH in storage. Here are some of them in the water.
