lift for 99-01 SAN in shallow water?

I'm looking at renting a house that already has a strap-style boat lift installed in shallow water (the rear is maybe 2ft, but the front is more like 6in). I plan on doing a little digging, but it still won't end up being much more than 1.5ft.

Can you use straps (instead of cradle) on a 99 or 01 SAN? Is it a problem having the fins catch on the rear strap as you come in? What about placement of the rear strap (after you get it past fins)? Will I be able to get it far enough back without it putting pressure on the shaft?

And what about "hanging" the boat and not using straps or a cradle? I saw one post about this (http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/167845.html ), but couldn't find any more info on if this would work for a 99-01 SAN.

Any ideas???
