First outing of the season

[MattFX4]

Finally found time to drop the boat in the water and try out the new lift today. She is high and dry tonight. Going to be a fun summer!

Awesome! What lift did you end up getting? How do you like it? It looks great, I love the space around the boat - for easy access to wipe the hull.

Nice to be able to get out in March. Still too much snow on the ground at my house to move the boat which makes me jealous. I did however get out on a boat yesterday but more on that later. I like the lift and cover but I think your tower is missing some new bling?

Yeah, I tried to get started on installing the tower speakers yesterday, but after changing oil, and cleaning the interior I ran out of time. I need to get them installed along with the Seadek.

I found a used 6,800lb Rhino lift. It's made by ShoreMaster. I like it. It took a little longer than expected to lift the boat. Maybe 10 minutes or so. I will have to time it next time to know for sure. The slip is 12' wide so yeah there is a good bit of room around the boat.

Nice………..having a lift is so cool, makes boating easier, priceless .

Boat looks beautiful! Supposed to get another 8" of snow tomorrow. Sigh...

 

[FloJet]

Eeeh! I would go so crazy if I ever saw snow this early in the year. Looking like summer weather starts next weekend for us with rain mixed in off course.

What does the covered area with lift run per month? Looks very nice!

Well I'm sure it varies depending on location, but I paid $4,900 for the lift so I own it. I can always sell it to get most of my money back on it. I did an annual lease and paid $3,000 for the year on the 12x30 slip. I got a 5% discount by paying in full. Works out to $250 a month if spread over 12 months.

Nice, thanks for the info!

Second time out today. My little buddy loved it.
