great weekend sandwiched by Hoist Breaking!

[04OUTBACK]

guys I bought from have offered to share expense in repair.
Local marine dealer sells Craftlander Lifts.. 4500 lb lift for $2895.. I put together...
Gonna most likely do that, then fix/sell mine..
Previous owners of the lift kept a 22' Rinker on it. had to weigh the same as mine.
Manufacturer if this lift is Out of biz..(were local) not good stories when you mention the brand to local marinas..

It will ride again. just not with my boat under it!

Looks like a sat/sunday tool party at Brad's

Since you already know how lifts work, it shouldn't take long to assemble. I did mine with a buddy in about 5 hours, and I didn't know anything about lifts.

assembled and in the water.. BUT, I dont think the bunks are high enough to clear the center tracking fins or the prop/shaft at back.. gonna call mfgr tomorrow to discuss..

the craftlander ski boat bunks are 155`00 $
i`m going to order my lift on monday 4500LB with canopy saving 3 grand at my door (in canada)

I bought some aluminum 3"x3" tubing and made a beam support for the bunks. It helped raise the boat enough to get the skegs over. The prop/rudder would hit if I went too far forward though.
Pic attached is just for reference.

Talked to Mfg today. They are shipping me the taller brackets. marina where I bought the lift doesn't do much/anything with inboards... so he "ASSUMED".. didn't even know the mfg made this product.
I am travelling this week so If I get them by Fri i am good
