48DA - Sea Lift or Florida Bow Truster (GHS)

[Rocket]

I just closed on a 2007 48da and I want to install a Hydraulic Lift. I'd like to get your opinion on each lift, and your experience on the installation and product. My initial research leaves me the following notes:

1. FBT is OEM and has 2 pistons, fixed chocks, installs with their own team.
2. Sealift is a single piston, collapsible chocks, installs are subcontracted to local.

I have a lift on my 48. I have no idea whether it is factory or aftermarket. It has a piston on each hinge. I push the buttons and it works. I scrape the barnacles off it. I check the oil. I think about how much, I love the lift and how it would be the first thing I would covet if I didn't have one on a boat this size.

Mike, as you may recall I have SeaLift. Feel free to PM me for feedback and more details.
