Just purchased a 272 and looking for a used hydraulic lift (6500-8000 lb class). Geneva Lake, WI. Please let me know if you have any leads, thanks!

Hey ericnyman…so glad you found us my friend.
Can’t help you with a lift but can extend a welcome aboard mate. Any pics?

Here are some pics - needs a buff and wax, upholstery cleaning, and new flooring - probably will go with seagrass type. Dashboard "wood" inserts need to be replaced too.

Awesome….with a bonus engine pic too! Nice.

What do you fly?

I'm pretty good with kites.
(currently flying 737's). Have you escaped the surly bonds of earth?

@ericnyman - I've found all my lifts on FB Marketplace and then I hire a barge service to move it. You may try Gordy's or Jerry's to see if any of their customers are looking to sell their lifts.

AsLan7 - yes, I have! I flew a couple single-seaters in the Air Force and currently flying Archers and Arrows just for fun.

kbloom72 - thanks, I'll check around

Oh that’s awesome. Go blue! Was a heavy driver for 26 years with more deployments than I can count passing gas. Did we hook up at one time? Persian Gulf? Guam? Eglin?
I still keep my MEII Current. Also love the Archers and Arrows!

It's certainly possible we met on the boom! I spent most of time at Langley and Tyndall - F-15C's and F-22s.

That’s living the dream brutha’…especially down near the red neck riviera. Tyndall and Eglin were some of my favorite business efforts. Especially during spring break.

I assume you have checked in to the Flora-bama at some point then? Love the Gulf Coast... cheap and fun

I just made another post re: anchors. Wondering of you have an opinion?

LOL--now that's funny- He says "I flew a couple single seaters" then tells us it's Eagles and Raptors.....that's like saying I drove cars for a living and finding out it's Jeff Gordon

Hey all - we were so busy having fun on the 272 this summer that I never got around to posting again! Here are some pics after everything was finally done - the new carpet took forever but Geneva Upholstery did a great job - Cobalt snaps and all. It was hard to find a used lift that would work, so I bought a new Bulmann lift. Electro/hydraulic drive, cable hoist. Really solid, love it. Counting the days until May...
