Well I did it.I pulled the trigger on a used Shoremaster 3000 or 4000 lb vertical lift. It has the adjustable cradle that I'll need to re-arrange and convert to bunks. It also has the bases and posts for the vertical guides. I might just drop some black pvc pipe over it and call it done. The guides are kinda floppy though so we'll see how well they work in any wave action. It came with the engine stop but that won't be needed. I REALLY need to get some wheels on the thing. It's a bit of a bear to say the least. I'll see how I make out with the manual crank and then decide on a power option.
But I'm pretty excited for next season to get it all set up and using it instead of the anchor and lessening the bathtub ring. Thanks for everybodies input and ideas. If you know of some affordable wheel options please do let me know. I'm quite intrigued with the lever wheels or whatever they're called. I also found some fancy kind of jack idea. But boy these things get spendy in a hurry.
