Nautique g23 On 6600 lb hydro hoist

[Sail Pending]

Does anyone have a pic of this set up? Does it get all the fiberglass out of the water?

Does anyone have a pic of their g23 on a 6600 lb lift? Does all of the fiberglass clear the water?

We didn't even try it when we got the Nautique but I had the 6600 for my old Supra... Upgraded to the 8800 and it does well.

If you're thinking the hydro hoist will potentially lift it part way because you're close to weight limit, it doesn't actually work that way in practice. I've had boats close to the weight limit on a hydro hoist lift. In practice, it pretty much either lifts it or it doesn't. I think it's because of the static friction of the plastic bushings of the lift. It takes a certain amount of lifting force for the lift to start moving. But when it does starts moving, it comes pretty much all the way up.

So when the boat was too heavy with extra gear and fuel and such, it wouldn't come out of the water. When it wasn't too heavy, it would come up pretty much all the way.

Moving this out of the Site Issues forum, and into General Nautique Discussion.

You don't say what year your boat is. If it is a pre-2021 G23, you might get away with it on a 6600. That is really pushing it though.

If your boat is a 2021+, I wouldn't even try it. They are heavier.

My 2021 regular G23 and my 2022 Paragon have both been a good fit on my HydroHoist 8800.
