[Rhodes22-list] Boat lift in Texas

[Steve Alm]

Ed,

Oh, was it Texas?  Do you remember who it was or when it was so we might
find the pix in the archives?  I skimmed through several months searching
under the topic, boat lift, but didn't find it.

As I recall, it was a pretty cool design.  He had it sideways against his
sea wall or dock or whatever (IIRC he was on a canal) and you'd pull the
boat into the lift and then when you were ready to go again, you could
either back out or pull forward.  Home-made too, wasn't it?
