    New to tritoon and must set up boat lift

    What was posted is fine, but not a spec sheet for structural hull support ..most manufacturers publish a structural support dimension sheet per hull model. In this case i am thinking the welder keel makes it a nine issue as the boat is so stiff due to the keel . In either case thanks for the...

    They are elusive here in Brevard County Fl for dock builders. Nobody wants to pay the price apparently so everyone uses wood. The problem with telhe wood is low ridgity so unless you use a stiffened you done have much to work with. I was going to use a 2x4 on end but am worried about to much...

    My guess is they are all built the same, point support on the keel given its stiffness, or full pontoon on V bunks because not on the keel.

    Hi all, just picked up a 2019 21SXL tritoon. I need to set up the boat lift. Do the pontoons need to be fully supported or only at points like I see them at the dealers? Also, I am told no carpet but a plastic draining material. I also see them on trailers that look to support the boat via the...
