Is this the proper method for transporting a boat lift?

No, the wheel should be on the driver's side.
Atleast lower the cradle. ------------- |

Should have left the boat on the lift to help stabilize it.

They need atleast 2 maybe 3 bungee cords to secure it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5164&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 99 |

No, this lift will go under our former '92. Dad is getting a newer lift with a canopy though- so Im hoping the old one doesnt go too far! This isnt exactly what we had in mind when the seller said he had a way to transport the lift. I helped put it on the truck but I take no responsibility for this idea! It did make the 5 mile trip safely though. ------------- |

TRBenj, i dont see anything wrong with the method that was used to transport said lift,proper tie dows,even loading for and aft,and think you were legal for the 8 foot limit on width,Good Job. But i do have one question,is the water at low tide,or has the canal not been dug yet?
we put our lifts directly in the water,just a thought............boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I dont think it had any bungees. I did hear someone say, "If you cant tie a knot, tie a lot." ------------- |

I have to applaud the determination applied to this move. If we learn nothing else, a group of guys that want something done can usually figure out a way to do it. (Even if they don't have the right equipment.) Nice job TRBenj!
Out of curiousity, how much does a lift like that weigh? Most of the lifts around us are the of Doozie type (overhead). |

(make sure the windows in the truck are nice and tight before you drive it into the water)
Once you buy a boat lift, and set it in place, trust me, you never want to move it....except for taking it out of the water in the fall.
