Anything bad about ECONO LIFT boat lifts?

I'm considering a purchase for an inboard ski boat. All I need is the 4500lb model, but am considering the 6500lb model since new wakeboard boats are getting bigger and heavier every year.

Main concerns are just overall quality and function. Any issues with poor quality over time? Any problems balancing, etc?

Just looking for your advice before purchasing. Thanks.

I dont think that brand is carried around here as I've never heard of it. Hydro-Hoist owns the market here.

Definately go with the 6500 or even larger. That's what I have and now with a 24V at 4500 lbs dry, 600# in lead, gas, gear, etc. I wish I would have gone for the 7500 lb lift. You dont want to buy one of these twice!
