15,000 lb Hydrohoist
15,000 lb Hydrohoist purchased last October for my 38 Top Gun. Before I purchased my marina said there would be no issues with installing this lift. Put it in the water this spring and before I could mount it to the dock they said no way I could use this lift. So I need to look into other options, my loss your gain. Previous owner had a 38 Fountain on it and I will include the bunks for the pad bottom as well as the standard v-bottom bunks (I never had my boat on this lift so the bunks are not on it, you will need to adjust for your boat). Will also sell with the rollers and guides for the dock. Lift is currently tied to my dock in Port Clinton Ohio. You can come see it sink and float if you want. I have a crane here and can load the lift directly on your trailer. Keep in mind the lift is over 10’ wide so if you are going any real distance you may want to dissemble it. $5,000. Pay me what i have into it and its all yours.

Could you provide an asking price and why did they not allow that? My marina said the same no problem put a lift in if you want and now in the process of looking for one and curious what the marina didn't like about it? I am going to call the marina and ask about any lift restrictions because I would be off the charts pissed to buy one and have them say no sorry not that kind....
Thanks

Sorry, $5,000
We have steel floating docks here and they do not want anything that directly attaches to the dock in fear it would damage them and sink the dock. Despite the fact there are 2-3 people who are "Grandfathered" in here in the park..... One person has a scissor lift style that sits on the floor of the marina, but its a muddy bottom and those simply get buried to the point it wont hold the boat anymore.

Good question, In Theory, as long as your boat is under 15K and the Center of gravity was far enough back, you could put a 100' boat on it.
In all honesty im not sure, however it held the PO's full stagger 38 fountain no problem. The outer pontoons are 23' long, so of course you will have a good amount of boat hanging off the front, however since the azz end is always heavier it will sit correctly. It might be worth a call to HydroHoist to see what they say about a 47 Fountain.
