Hello All,
I'm new to the forums, and this is my first post. I'm loving the forum so far!
Anwyays, we recently purchased a 2275 GLI with a 115 HP. (We love the boat so far!)
Our current boat house uses lifting slings. We spoke with the dealer about lifting our new toon with the slings, and he said it should be ok as long as we lift the logs 18" from the rear, and at the helm (where the toons are solid). He suggested that we eventually purchase wider slings (we currently have 4" slings, and were looking to upgrade to the 8" slings). Our current setup does have pulleys on the sides, so no "inward pressure" would be applied to the side walls of the toon.
I did some research online..and most people said it was a better idea to convert the hoist into a "cradle lift". We decided to check with Bennington directly, to see what they recommend. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
