Have you seen the PWC lifts on www.PWCRails.com? The "Tilt-Up" model is designed for larger houseboats, but we also have low-cost options for loading on the back of a cruiser swim deck...from stand-up jet skis up to a modern 3-seater (1,000 pounds) . The problem with the hydraulic PWC lifts is their weight and cost. Ours weighs very little and there are no hydraulics. Check it out.

Sounds like a nice idea. Do you make one for a 32 Fountain and will it cause the back of the boat to sit much lower? Thanks

Added,,,,,, to mount on a 32. Not to put the 32 on

Not sure what google search you got to this forum from, but no one is putting jetskis on their go fasts. Or at least I hope they aren't.

Our Cross-Deck system will mount on any swim platform. The advisability of doing that depends on several factors. The swim platform needs to be strong enough to support the weight of your PWC. If it isn't, we suggest ways you can inexpensively add support. You also want to consider how that weight will "squat" your boat. Depending on the size of your boat, that can have a big effect on your ability to cruise, but it might not matter if all you want to do is store your PWC when you aren't using your go-fast boat. I would imagine a PWC on the back of a 32 Fountain would lower the aft a lot. Again, that won't matter if you just want to store your PWC on the deck and save trailering or storing it.

Schiada had a 43 at the Miami Boat Show last year with a hydraulic lift for a stand up ski.
