[QUOTE="Beefer, post: 255541, member: 8389"] Thanks for all the insight. I think keeping it in the water will be more headache then it's worth. I only paid a net $135 for the boat and motor. A davit or lift would be ideal, but are out of the budget for now. I do have a weird floating jet ski dock on the other side of the dock, and I'm thinking of fabricating some type of float/drive/pull on dry dock that would sit between the fingers. I'm also thinking of a low-budget homemade lift. My thought (at this point) is 2 winches (trailer type should suffice) mounted on the dock close to the seawall (even at high tide I have about 3' from dock to water). I could lift the boat with the winches, and let it hang on it's side. Attach one cable to the bow handle, and one to the far side transom handle. Sounds weird, but I think it might work.... #-o [/QUOTE]
