I was flipping thru some photos and I found this of my dad's 2000 245 Sundowner being put up in the rack for winter.

a running shot:

He keeps his boat in the rack all summer as well. It works out quite well, he calls and by the time they hit the marina the boat is in the water waiting.

Thought I would share.

I'm sure the learning curve driving that forklift is pretty steep. I don't want to be the one to drop a boat or to run into anything with it.

Just be VERY CAREFUL when the Mast is at full extension. Very cool way of storing boats though

They seem to know what they are doing with the lift, however last year someone clipped the windsheild on the rafter above, and ended up replacing the whole windshild and repairing the cover for free. As expected.

They are a Four Winns dealer, Skipper Buds in Marblehead, OH.

How big of a boat could they move like that?

Man, I'd love to see them try to lift 14k pounds and a 318 up to a '3rd story' storage spot!
