I am curious to know how things worked out for the OP. any update on how the problem with the leaking fuel tank was resolved. From reading posts on another forum from some one in england with a similar leak in the starboard tank, the tanks were removed and replaced. Access was gained by...

So I ended up finding a used 2 year old Neptune lift rated at 30000 lbs. then had to have 8 pilings driven. The rest of the installation I was able to do with some help from a friend to rig a device to lift the motor assemblies up on those pilings. Electrical work was fairly simple as I was able...

thanks for the thoughts and ideas. I have some problems with boat wakes and north winds creating chop at my location, which is why I am considering a lift. One of the considerations if I do this is to identify the center of gravity of the boat, to properly locate the lift. Engines are aft...

i am about to purchase a 44 swift trawler and am considering putting the boat on a boat lift. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and how it worked out. what size lift? make model of lift?
