Help with shallow water lift
 
Looking for a shallow water lift for a CC. Looking for a 13-15000 lbs lift. I only have about 3-4' under the boat and can be 2' at times. Also, this is a canal that will freeze as well. I boat at Lake Erie western basin. Otherwise, known as port Clinton ohio.

I don't want the best! I also would consider something used as well. Looking for information for new and or installers to consider from the area! Any help is appreciated!

Airdock is inexpensive and needs very little water to work.
May need to be removed from water in winter though.

Thanks for the replies so far. The sunstream I did notice at the boat shows. They are pretty pricey! Have really looked into the airbag lifts. Will check into them.

Sunstreme lifts work great I have one I used for a number of years with a V bottom and a cat. Its only 6500 lb lift. I am Looking to sell it I don't need it anymore.

2 feet is going to be tough with any lift for a boat that big, even some of the air dock types for big boats have large ballast tanks on some . I have four lifts all High Tide brand. The 16k had a 382 Formula on it, we had depth problems with it. You have to spend time to set it up so the boat almost sits on the cross beams, then I got in the water with a psi washer and basically dug trenches under the beams so the lift would go down til the bunks would hit bottom. I have a hard packed sand bottom so it would last a few years before I needed to do it again form silting in. Make sure you set your limit switches so it stops before the weight is off the cables or you will unwind and have a big mess like the first time you use a bait caster fishing reel.

Have you thought about a track / rail system?
