Looking for a paralift. Can need a motor and be not so pretty. Nicer unit will work for me also..

Just an fyi I saw one for sale a few days ago on texas craigslist I believe. I think they just had it listed as a jackplate....(probably no clue what it is).

Thanks hydrasports...I will check it out.

Do you already have one that you want some extra parts for?

They're just about the coolest looking thing that sucks you'll ever find...*just my experience*.

I have two on boats now. My son wants one to modify for his smaller skiff. The x-tra parts will help me in the future. As far as the paralifts suitability, the only better jackplate IMO is a porta bracket.

They don't really suck...I absolutely loved mine until I hated it. It got in a bind in the full up position one day. I was a million miles from nowhere back in the swamp with no cell service and couldn't get it to go down. I ended up being able to get back to the ramp but felt like it almost cost me a motor. It was the internal pump version and I think the least reliable of those - I think it was the eaton, but don't remember for sure. I had to pull the pressure relief to get it down. It seemed to work fine again after I did that, but never trusted it again and ended up selling it to someone for parts. Just be careful if you pick up that version.

I have one!! I'll have to go to my shop to get pictures. Haven't used it since I bought it used. It was working when I got it! Send me a PM if you want me to check it out.
