We have enough room to enter at the stern with the swim platform, slip is 30' long. Pic for reference...I have a few feet to move it forward too. I think we'll be ok

Re: It's boat lift time!
Good call...I do get morning sun on the stern. Moving it forward would reduce that a bit. Probably can go 3-4 ft forward of where it is now.tgrace98 wrote: Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:54 amI would have them install the lift as far forward as they can.

Re: It's boat lift time!
Score!! That’s a nice one with the good floats. Rebuilt? Looks brand new.
Are you happy with the bunk location. I see you moved them inward.
Guide poles are great. Push button and stare!

Re: It's boat lift time!
Yep rebuilt, I think from salt water somewhere in southern CA. I think it was a 2015 model? The guy I bought it from uses PolyLift parts for rebuild. Bunk location is good, at the wider location it was sitting on the chines up front. Had to adjust narrower to get it to sit flush on the hull. Plenty of clearance from keel to crossbeam, that was my main concern. Super happy with how it turned out. Cost was $6k delivered and installed. Originally bought a 6600 but I guess there were problems with that one, the guy found an 8800 to rebuild instead and honored the original price.cmattj wrote: Sat Feb 08, 2020 6:18 pm Score!!
