Good choice to let the professionals do the lift work. Here are the pictures of the Cruiser Cushions I lined my slip with this last weekend. No more scratched toons for me!And yes I deferred to pay the money and have Poly do all of the work to the lift! Wasn't confident in my lift prep skills!
Didn't realize you were on LOTO as well. Quite a distance from me, however. I'm on the Gravois arm, only about 44 miles from Big Dick's Halfway Inn. (For you others out there, Big Dick's is a great bar and eatery and is located halfway between the Bagnall and Truman Dams, thus its namesake.)Thanks for all the helpful info. The poly lift guys seem to think the lift will work out ok. We are in the back of the cove across from Big Dicks Halway Inn so we hardly get any wake at all. I am definitely going to be putting those corner bumpers on tho!
Had my dock guy put those on when he was doing some other work for me on the dock. I then bolted the corner bumpers on and attached the cruiser cushions with galvanized roofing nails.How did you mount the 2x12's to the sides of the dock frame? I'm thinking maybe I should do it as well..
Yes, your dock is very similar to mine, and you will scratch your toons with the metal frames under the dock decking, especially at the entrance to the slip. You definitely should get those corner bumpers placed on the entrance to the slip. You will not regret it. I installed mine after I stopped by a guys dock across the cove from me who had a new Benny and a narrow 10 ft slip like mine with the corner bumpers. He said it was the best thing he did to help prevent damaging his boat when docking it in his slip. My brother-in-law (who has a Premier triton, but regrets not buying a Benny, by the way) lined his slip with the 2 x 12's and cruiser cushions and did the work all by himself. He's much more handy than me, but it can be done without too much trouble if you are the least bit mechanically inclined.
