Anyone using an Air Dock?

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.

Are you talking about something like this?

No. This system uses air bladders to lift the boat. See pics.

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.
