Lifting boat off trailer with sling travel lift

[seadude]

Here's a question I haven't seen discussed before, wondering if anyone has any experience!
I want to trailer my boat (2016 242) to a marina in the spring (yes I'm planning ahead) that launches using one of those large sling-type travel lifts. Can these boats be safely lifted with slings and is there trailer bunk board clearance in the right places for the slings? Can the boat be dropped back onto the trailer the same way?

We traveled to Florida every Thanksgiving. The river we fish on has the same type lift. I have watched over the years and seen them lift every type of boat imaginable. Some were cabin cruisers. Some were 16' runabouts. I can't remember what the load rating was on the crane but they were setup for every combination. These guys do it everyday.

My boat rests on 2 slings permanently. No issues.

They will likely lift it slightly with the eye hooks to get the sling underneath. I've seen it a few times at the marina I fuel at. These guys are pros and do this all the time, so it should be just fine. Just make sure this is not their first rodeo, and everything should work out.

I keep my boat on a lift full time with no issues! Key point. ...straps should be positioned with 1 under the windshield area and 1 under the engines. These are the main support points and as long as the straps are properly placed you will have no problems.
