How big of a lift do I need?

[waterboy222]

I have a 4400# lift that is set up for a pontoon boat that is just sitting in my storage. I was wondering if a 24 Skater with 2 Promax 300's with fuel and gear would be too much for it. The length is correct but the weight is my concern. I searched for an answer here and all I could find were discussions over bare hull weight. Mine has a full interior and I keep about a half tank of fuel in it..

Any idea? Launching the boat every weekend is getting old!

is it a hydrohoist,you are not going to hurt the lift,maybe wont lift as high,if you have any questions i will help,i buy and install lifts,tim:)

Yes, its a 4400UL I believe! It's only a few years old. It was new when we bought our dock and we took it out because we didn't have a pontoon boat.

Should be OK:

Boat 1,700
Engines 1,000
Fuel 700 +/-
Stuff ???

FYI, I have my 28 Skater with 300X's on a 4000# capacity Shore-Station brand lift. It's a little over capacity, so you should have no issues. Later, Dave
