 Topic: I’m looking for a Nautique boat liftPosted: December-24-2006 at 7:03pm |

I just bought a '99 Air Nautique that is spectacular. It has only 39 hours on it and is in show room condition.
Anyway, I have lake house with a traditional boat sling for an outboard boat, and I'm waiting to use my boat lift to raise and lower my Air Nautique. Does anyone make a supmersible trailer (no axle, wheels,etc) that the cabels for a traditional slide can be attached to, so that you can raise and lower the boat without the potential of damaging the drive shaft or fins. Any other advice would be helful if there are other options??? Thanks in advance, |

Thanks for your suggestions. Since I live in Houston, and since there is a large dealership here, there is also a company called Boat Lift Distributors in Houston. Last night I saw them at the Houston Boat Show (which is huge and fills the Reliant Center) and then have a cradle life that I think will work perfectly. It's a complete kit with the cradle, and a new motor and cables, etc. They want $1250 for the turnkey deal. It's seems like a good deal to me.
My only concern is that the I-Beam that run under the boat across the front and rear of the boat has a 22" lift on it. On top of this lift are the heavy duty boards on which the boat sits. I just have to measure to make sure that when I pull the boat into the stall that 22" t0 24" will clear the prop and drive shaft. |

Dear Nautique Frk ,
thanks for your reply. I sent an earlier reply, but I forgot to ask you about your Doozie Boat lifts. Are they "cradle" lifts, and if so, how tall our the "posts" (not the right word) that the boards that your boat rests on are attached to. The distributor in Houston has a 22" cradel lift where the I-Beam that is in the front and rear of the cradle is 22" below the vertical lifts, then the long boards (or beams that the boat rests on). To me, this mean that when I drive into the slip, I only have 22" (or maybe 24" to 25" once the long boards are attached)of clearance to protect my fins, drive shaft and prop. Do you have any idea how tall your cradle lift was above the Ibeams? |

Walt,
Are you going back to the show and when? What lake are you on? I'm in Friendswood and ski in Clear Creek and at a Private Lake in League City...I'm headed to the show probably Tuesday. |

I'm unfortunately not going back this week. I'm headed to my ranch tomorrow for this week, and then to my lake house at Riverside, Tx (outside Huntsville). We have a 250+ acre lake with a narrow inlet/outlet to the Trinity River above 20+ miles up river from Lake Livingston.
I think I was worried about the lift too much. It took my 14 yr old son to point out to me today that the boards lifting the boat would be under the water line just as a trailer backs into the water and you drive unto the trailer. After I saw a photo of our boat (the rear end on a trailer), I realized all I had to "clear" was the difference from where the boards that lift the boat (I forget the word for them), to the bottom of the shaft. Now I'm thinking I might get by with a 16" riser instead of the 22" riser. Any suggestions? |
