Long story short, I ordered a new lift for my slip back in April, was supposed to be a 3 week turn around, and maybe 4 weeks total to be installed. 6-6-11, Still no lift.
So, i'm sick and tired of having to put the boat in the lake every time i want to use it.
I think i've decided to go out...
I have a 2008 230 select with a 350 mag.
I finally picked it up from storage/de-winterization yesterday.
The dealer simply leaves the keys in the ignition when the boat becomes ready for pickup, so after parking my boat in the driveway i figured what the heck, i'll open it up, take a look, and...
June 5th was the last time we used the boat at the marina. It had been stranded for 3 weeks, when me and my brother in law finally had to swim out and rescue it.

Last time we boated was June 5th. It had rained heavy a few nights before. When...
after searching though pages of lowes.com pages i ran across the eye hooks and as of current that's what i'm considering.
i figure that all the weight will be supported by the frame of the docking i'm building, just wondering now what kind of force will come up through the planks when it...

Obviously we all know what a U-Bolt is:
On my boat lift, between the boat and the dock i have about 26" - 28" on both sides when centered.
