Backing it in is an interesting idea, but I don't think I could get the cradle down enough in low tide to clear the drives.

One thing that still has me confused is the proper location for the bunks....I recently had to modify my lift as the bunks were for a non stepped hull...so per the suggestions of a few members I modified it so as to not have the weight of the boat sitting on the steps.....however...I have also been told that you want the entire boat sitting on the bunks, because leaving a portion of the boat hanging off will increase the chances of having the hull develop a "hook"......So now I have the Gladiator pulled flush with the rear of the bunks....and the cables are about the same in tension....front to rear...or at least close anyway......any thoughts on this????

Guys thanks for the compliments.
BTW the difference between 4500 and 5500 rpm is to say the least, substantial, it drops to .5mpg
As you can see the shaft tips are way back.....
