Need some opinions on best value in boat lifts. I'm putting my '05 Sanger V215 in a slip at Big Bear Lake this summer for 5 - 6 months. The consensus from other owners is to lift it. It will be in a rented slip so I don't want to go with a permanent systems like HydroHoist. Anyone know about the air bag systems like Air Dock? Sort of concerned about how much pressure they might put on the center fins. <BR> <BR>

Are you talking about something like this? <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/219747.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/219748.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/219749.jpg" alt="">

No. This system uses air bladders to lift the boat. See pics. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/219789.jpg" alt="Air Dock">

Gotcha. Sorry, no first hand experience here.

I have one, and there is no way it will exert pressure on the tracking fins or underwater hardware. It is three bags and a giant...and really heavy rubber pad in the center. I'm getting ready to put mine in the water this weekend. <BR> <BR>Eric
