Seems like a interesting concept. I would be interested to hear about anyone who has seen or used this as well. Apparently you can back into your slid with this lift.

I think its 3 hours to get all of the water out from around the boat but I don't think you have to wait around for that to happen. Seems interesting albeit a little gimmicky.

The owner and designer is a client. It looks to be a good product. He is VERY big in the marine art world. Good connections he would never tarnish.

He is straight up.

JUST FYI- That is his GF in the pics.

I talked to him today regarding purchasing one. He said 4-6 weeks before I would get it...sort of a long time. He seemed like a nice guy I would love to get one but I really cant wait that long.

Any update on this product?

I still don't see any reviews by someone who purchased one.

It isn't a boat lift......it is a vinyl liner that the boat pulls into and then a pump removes the water between the hull and the liner. Boat never leaves the water.
