Appreciate the insight BobRae99! That is the insight I was looking for. I did come across this as well:

https://www.airdock.com/

I had a quote for dock modification and installing the Magnum Pile mounted lift. But have gotten the silent treatment. So am having to look at another option(s).

Already had bought a pre-owned 8k pile lift. Just can’t get pile installed..
:cry:
I bought a new Airdock when I bought my new Malibu in 2006. Buddy of mine turned me on to it and it worked great for the first two years. Then it started getting little tiny holes and loosing air. I had mine in floating dock at the lake house and it was hard to keep it from rubbing on the side of the dock. Then had to keep pulling it out to fine said tiny holes a patch them. (My first clue it might not be a great set up was when the dock came they included a patch kit!)

The final straw was when I arrived on a Saturday morning only to find one whole side was completely deflated and the boat was rubbing on the side of the dock.... For who knows how long! Many $$ later in wet sanding... Sold it to my neighbor who had it six months and had same issues. He got so pissed he slit each bag, (there are three) and let it sink to the bottom of the lake.

I bought a use Hydro Hoist and never had another issue.
Hydro Hoist/Harbor Hoist might be a good choice. They seem to have been around for a while. I hadn't thought about rubbong holes in the tanks though.
It was the Airdock that rubbed on the dock, not the Hydro Hoist/ ;)
