need boat lift
 

Does anybody have a lead on a used boat lift with a 7-8000# capacity?

Re: need boat lift
 

I am going to have one in a couple weeks, it is what I have used for two years and been happy with, but bigger boat will require a different set up.

Call me if interested..... it is a floatair..... 10,000#, may be more than you need, but I have been told again and again buy them 20% larger than needed.... this works very well with a #7500 boat with full load of fuel, people, gear, all that stuff...

Dean, Thanks for the reply. I am however going to need a stand alone vertical hoist like a Midlander or Shorestation lift.

Playn check out Craigs list. I just got one on there locally. Ebay of course has a lot of them. Thay all seem to be in the midwest so maybe close enough for you to go to.

Playn, check w/ Ron at Manning Marine. He builds lifts. Might be worth a couple extra bucks to go new. At least it doesn't hurt to check.

Jon, Where on ebay are the lifts?? I looked under boat lift and only say one. Im also looking for a 12,000lb lift for Long Island.

Gents, I have a 8000lb 4pole lift located on Long Island,NY. It is an Alumivator brand, and in good working order $1500 takes it ERIC 631 587 6276 :drink:

Dam I would be all over that if was for a bigger load.

Re: need boat lift
 

If you want, call me...I will give you the serial#, you can call alumivator and see about an upgrade. Sometimes you just need bigger cables. FYI ..I just bought and installed a 16000 Hi Tide lift, REAL nice ...cost of LIFT=$11,000 :eek: :drink:

I too am looking for a lift for a little canal cruiser, # 2000-2200 lbs, 15' boat. Does anyone have any experience with one of those Jet dock types of drive on lifts? :rolleyes:
Thanks,
Dean

Picked up a 3 year 12k lb lift from Ebay last year for half the retail price. Bonus was it happened to be located right here in Va. Beach just a couple of miles form my house. Just had to go over and take it a part.

Where did you find in ebay?? under boat lifts?

Re: need boat lift
 

Keith, I would look around Houghton lk, there will be tons of them for sale in that area. These are very unweilding and would have to be taken apart to go any distance, I bet there is one in the water ready to go, just reverse the lift, put a row boat under it and float it home. I would look in that area only, betweeh Higgins and Houghton you will find a nice one.

Mitch, I'm going to look up there too but I'm not too confident I'll find one with the capacity I want. I brought the lift for the pontoon over from Pentwater last week and am bringing the lift for the four winns over this friday if I can get a permit for the oversized load (width) because I don't want to take it apart. We'll see, really don't need it till the spring now. I'm going to haul some snowmobiles up there in Sept anyway.

Have the jet dock system in place and love it. I will post pics if you want. Of course you can see the boat in action at www.jetdock.com They used it for their video and research development. Very happy. The dock has held up after almost 7 years no problems boat is clean.

I have a used 12,000-14,000 lb. Polylift available on Lake travis. It has a bent arm, and needs a little work. I want to sell it as is, best offer!

Im looking for 11000k lbs.

Re: need boat lift
 

Dean they are awsome but HUGE money. That is why I went with a regular lift.

Jon

Re: need boat lift
 

They will show up from time to time. I have seen them up to 30,000 pounds on there. Just keep checking.

Yeah you have to kind of dig a little to find them since there's no real specific category for them. I think it was under lifts, or as Audiofn says hoists. But like everything else on there it's hit or miss and location for pickup of course comes into play. I really lucked out on age/condition, price, and more importantly location.

Another thing you can do of which I was in the middle of at the time, was I had talked to many lift installers, and they said they pull smaller used lifts out all the time to replace with either newer, or more commonly larger lifts. Then they sell them for the owner for a cut. So put the word out to the local lift contractors to add your name to a list if they find a good used lift.
