Very Interesting way to get boat in and out of water!

is definitely something I have never seen before and wanted to share.

I saw this the other day too and had never seen them... Pricey as **** but cool for sure.

I think that last picture shows the dedicated service team that comes with this contraption. From the logo's shown on the high mounted genset, looks like this is a product vs a one off. Anyone clever enough to find the website? I got a $1 that says they don't list any prices.

I have been trying to get them as a sponsor for a couple of years now. No luck yet!

Reminds me of the Launch & Recovery System built by Supacat for the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

They've got a used one posted and the MSRP on the site is listed as $65k

Wow, serious rig!
I feel like this thing would work for the first few months and then be pretty unreliable. Assuming most applications are saltwater too.

Or another used one for $5,000. Seems like the market is kinda soft when you can't sell them for $5,000.

I wonder how easily the tracks come off in normal use? And also how hard it is to re-track them?

If you live there and have the lower house on the water, why not just have whatshisname warm up the helicopter fly you out to the yacht and tell captain whosits to put the ski boat in the water, that big contraption on the beach, the neighbors must think they're savages

This is an attractive option for the Great Lakes if you're on the lake and don't want to be in a marina and can't put in a pier or post mounted lift. We're on Lake Erie and twice in my life time so far I've been around to experience a freak storm that has knocked 4000 lb boats out of their lifts even when the boat was sitting 3' from the normal water level. Boats and jet skis were littered along the shore.

The issues stopping with were the costs, which is way out of my league and perceived maintenance. Lots of moving parts there and worst of all lots of hydraulics. And like they say.... "There are only two types of hydraulic systems, the ones that are leaking and the ones that will be leaking soon." I can just imagine the nightmare these would be after 5 years use in saltwater let alone freshwater.
