To get height I felt comfortable with, I added one layer of 6x6's under each support and that made the difference on raising my Capri 2050SS, the distance to clear the wheel covers. Before that it was scary to me, because I felt I was running out of screw height's to raise it where I needed. After trailer was out, boy I felt better.

The boat lift is Fantastic!!!
10 years ago
I purchased the boat lift because I had purchased a 1992 Nitro 160 and two months later a 1990 Ranger 360V for a total of $2000.00. This was my first time attempting restoration to a boat and I realized very quickly that I had to be able to remove the boats from the trailers to make repairs. I purchased the boat lift from Jamestown and within a few days it arrived. I am retired and I was able to remove the boats from the trailers in my garage and return them to the trailers without any one helping me. I am all smiles and I give this FIVE STARS.

Q: Would this work for a Catalina 250? Although the chines are soft, the bottom is relatively flat. The trailer bunks are under this flat part. I could place the two rear stands under the transom, which is a strong place for them. If the bunks can be under this flat part of the boat, then I assume the rear stands can be as well. I would just need to be careful of tipping the boat until I put blocking under it, or additional boat stands. The boat only displaces 3250 lbs (it is the water ballast swing keel model). I live by a small lake that is far away from any proper marinas and need a way to access the underside of my boat for maintenance.

A: It's not likely it will fit your sailboat hull. It has to mount to the trailer frame and the bunks are pretty far inboard. I think you would be better off with jack stands and keel blocks.

A: The TotalBoat Boat Lift System is a quick and affordable way to remove boats up to 5,000 pounds off of trailers up to 103"" wide. The screw stands will lift the boat up.

Q: I have a 31' that weighs 7000#.....I have other jacks for back. I just need to lift the front to remove the trailer. It appears this lifts the front up which should hardly weigh anything near the weight of 5000# since I am only lifting the front. Just wondering what the weight capacity means?? will it lift a complete boat that weighs 5000#?? or if I am picking up just the front to lift off of trailer, will this work??
9 years ago4 Answers
A: Regardless of where the weight is located in the boat, the load will be evenly distributed over the contact points. Say you have a 5000 boat with a block under the keel at the stern, the two balancing stands aft and the beam forward. The forward beam is supporting @ 1250 lbs Total boat weight should not exceed 5000 pounds. Bear in mind if you are going by manufacturer specs for your boat weight, you also have to add the weight of outboard engines, fuel, water and gear on board. I recommend you place blocks under the keel near the bow to back up the forward beam after you pull the trailer out.
