The pictures are from the delivery slip. I'm leasing a slip that fortunately has a lift included. However, I'm a little weary of the lift. I'm trying to talk with the marina about fixing up the bunks. What do you think?

Carpet looks a little worn. Everything looks good mechanically. If the weight distribution is right, I'm guessing it's OK. Smarter people than me will respond soon. (I know BB...it won't take much)
We leased a slip that included lift our first 7-8 years at our marina because we wanted to be able to move whenever we wanted. Marina was also responsible for maintenance. Once we bought a new Cobalt, I bought a used lift because lead time on new was 6-8 weeks. Never regretted it.

True., 😂😂
I'm sure they will have to get moved in some they look very low to the cross members. So make sure they check the height as well. Maybe get the chine measurements so you can adjust them ahead of time.
