I finally found a hoist for my boat, now all I have to do it move it and install it. I have to remove it from the slip it is in, put it on a trailer, drive it 50 miles north and get it into my slip. Any advice? Here's some pics of it with the previous owner's boat on it. The previous owner's boat was a 2002 21i and I have a 2005 24V.
easy, those lifts float, tow it over to a ramp, put it on a big trailer (tie it down)...and I would say very early morning. You'll get the sun when you get to the destination.
if you don't mind my asking...how much was that? my friends are selling one in the delta in a slip if anyone wants the slip too. its in lindquist landing. they're asking 3K. i think its a 6000lb lift but not sure.
Is it same lake, just 50 miles by road? If same body of water, how far by water? I see people towing lifts, docks, boathouses up and down the lake all the time.
I had read previously some pretty stern warning that they aren't as easy to move as people think (http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/572952.html). I got this one for $1,500. Anyone think/know what I'll have to do with the bunks to go from a 21i to 24V?
I think the 50 miles by land would be easier and faster to do then the 30 miles by water.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you will have to do anything to the bunks. Your going from one inboard to another. And yes towing a hoist is not the easiest. I would have done it once and will pay someone to do it next time. It took 3 hours to tow one the distance it normally takes is 15 minutes to drive the boat across the bay
