with straps, does it hurt the hull to hang for long periods of time???

Hung a 36 Nortech in there for 2 years (actually sits there over the winter) and the 52 all last summer with no issue.

Well bygosh if it's good enough for him... Haha.

I'm using two Boathoist USA 6500's with the "Gem" remotes like our other two stalls. You raise or lower with a little key fob sized remote/transmitter. Great setup for convenience, and you can override for leveling the two hoists if needed. Check them out.

Lift cables at 11' wide. Boat width at 8.5'. They are not being pinched at the rub rail. Just setting in the straps. Good to hear someone else is using this system.

I think the straps over time are not good. Would be great for a weekend or so. Also if you have painted hull sides be careful with the straps near the bottom and hull side edge. I have seen many boats down here get lifted and it can cause a problem. They sometimes use a block to keep the strap off the hull side.

is this coming to Dan the car dealer from Orillia?

Haha no....

Got the lift adjusted today. Feel much better now that if the wind comes up it'll be all good.

Erik, boat looks awesome!!!!:ernaehrung004:

Congrats!!!!!!

So how the heck do you get in the boat on a lift like that. Looks something designed by MADD you would never make it in the boat dry with a couple of drinks!
