It's the member formerly known as Ratman (same posting style)

This is his incognito member name that allows him to avoid the various federal agencies that are looking for him

Why couldn't you pump the water out of the tanks? You'd need a vent valve to let the air in as you pumped the water out and another valve to let water in to lower it.

They know exactly where he's at, but decided he wasn't worth the fuel required for a late-night-black-helicopter-extradition....

Side note- South American gelcoat repair must be a thriving business judging by those videos.

Just skip the floating lift all together and make a 4 post cable lift. Better, faster, and probably a lot less money. Besides, I have had both and my Hi-Tide was way easier to use.
