[Rhodes22-list] Boat lift

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

All I did was have some "extensions" fabricated out of steel that 
replaced the short ones that held the bunks to the lift designed for 
power boats.  The extensions were made to be long enough to allow the 
keel to clear the hoist frame, which as I recall was about 24" (but 
that's from memory -- you should measure!)  I would suggest you make 
them a little longer than needed, and put in some extra mounting holes 
to make them adjustable.  Mine have been in place for three summers 
(fresh water) and have worked fine.  The bunks flex to hold the boat 
just like the trailer does.  Nothing else supports the boat.

I plan to replicate the trailer layout as closely as possible using 2x6 as flexible bunks. I am trying to find a source for some galvanized brackets but I am striking out.
