I need some ideas how to set up my elevator lift for a cat? It would be great if there is a way to have it so i can still use center bunks for the race boat but still use it for the cat? Idea was to build removable center cat supports or just flat 2x10s on outside but not sure if good idea for the cat to sit on the sponsons?

Theres a bunch on LG that are on lifts. They all sit on the outside sponsons

I know the big cats like world cat do but its ok on a performance cat?

those are all supported inside

Youll be fine. Ittl be hard supporting that much on the tunnel with the pod. Usually there are some supports on the inside of the sponsons, up against the sponsons but youll be good

This is where we need a picture of the little Sea Doo boat on Hammertime's lift. It looked pretty funny with that little boat on that big lift.

Actually I think you could do it pretty easy with a bunk set up like the Hydrohoist's bunks in Jay's picture. You would need to add a V support in the bunks for the front of the boat and either add some support in the rear bunks to match up to the V in the back or you might just need to angle the inside of the bunk. If the boat is a step hull it would make it more difficult. Since it is just sitting there the support on the boat is not near as critical as a trailer.

Here's another view of a tunnel type lift if it helps. Seems to fit well and support the boat very well.

Why do you have 8 tailpipes coming out the back of the boat? I've seen that on a couple of boats with the new merc turbo motors...
