<a href="http://www.airdock.com/" target="_blank">http://www.airdock.com/</a> <BR> <BR>anyone using this....our boat is in a double slip and the neighboring boat is pretty close.... <BR> <BR>we arent allowed to have traditional hoists anyways but this seems like it would work and have always wanted something small that would get the boat out of the water....... <BR> <BR>lemme know what you think....

Looks like a good idea, but you would have to watch out that none of your underwater gear(tracking fins, prop, and rudder) don't snag and rip the bags, just a thought though... <BR> <BR>Never mind, I read a little further and noticed the video with the inboard, looks pretty good... <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Ryand121 on May 04, 2007)

I just bought the front mount 4400# Hydrohoist lift for my X1 and love it. It takes up less than the 10' you usually have in a double slip and works like a champ.

I have an Airdock that I keep my Calabria on. <BR> <BR>As mentioned above, you have to be careful about getting the airdock properly setup. If you don't have the weighting correct, or if you try and force the boat on/off you WILL puncture the bladders. Airdock inlcudes a patch kit with quite a few patches...and patching is an easy process once you have the bags out of the water to work with them. <BR> <BR>I know the patching process all-too-well from experience. I put a major slice in mine during the initial install. We also punched 2 holes in the bladder by catching it on an exposed bolt on the dock while carrying it to the slip. <BR> <BR>Bottom line, the airdock works great...as advertised. Follow directions, and DON'T FORCE THE BOAT. One more time, if it's not working right...DON'T FORCE THE BOAT! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>Ken at Airdock responds quickly to support and setup questions. We have it figured out pretty well now, so feel free to PM me with any questions.
