Checking to see if anyone has there 33 Evolution on a non floating lift. It looks like my Summit 8000lbs lift may be to small for our new boat. The lift has had some extra braces added, when it needed repair. The hydraulics are what's in question. The lift has to be a free standing not a floating lift. The water level is only four feet at the end of my dock. I reached out to Pat at AT about draft and weight, but have not received a call.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dry weight for a 33 is listed at 7800 #
Draft should be a little less than 3 feet.

I have the 33 Express, same hull as yours, with outboard Merc's.

It is on a lift in Cape Coral. I can send u pics or take deminsions.

Remedy is also on a lift in Cape

Your cradle and bunks could be 16-24" thick, adding to the depth you'll need.

I think an 8000# lift might be a little on the light side. I have been keeping our 33 on a lift in Florida during the winter, but don't have an exact water depth for you. With the swing of the tide, there were times I couldn't get off the lift. I would guess I'm around that 4' depth. Are you planning on altering the bunks to accommodate the step in the hull?

Yes, I do plan on modifying the bunks, did you on the lift its on? The other question is back on dual fuel tanks. They are showing differnt levels. The fuel fill closest to the bow goes to what tank. The Port or Starboard. Has anyone checked there prop slippage? The number were coming up with is 18% plus. That's with 5 blade Maxximuss. I'm going to take some measurements for the prop depth compared to the Hull. This is per recommendations from Brett at BBlades. They are somewhat close and have always improved the performance of my last two boats with there prop work.

I just added to the existing bunk behind the step to give full support, since I rent my lift. I did modify it though this year, because of the low winter low tides. I took off my bunk "risers" and angle cut them so I could power off in the winter low tide situations. I can't help you on the fuel fill situation, because mine are located on opposite sides of the boat. Port side fills port tank, ect. I always get different fuel levels tank to tank when filling up. Even though I fill both tanks, one side always burns more fuel. It's just the nature of the beast. Can't remember my prop depth for sure, it's either 3 1/2" or 4 1/2". I'm running Bravo 1 four blades and figured it at 12% last year. Your milage may vary!
