Hello everyone
I'm converting my lakeside lift boat lift that is currently set up for a center line pair of carpeted bunks housing my just sold 22 sea doo Islandia.
I'm buying a 27' avalon tritoon with a 250 merc.
I'm looking through the sites and can't get an experienced answer, consistently.
How about some advice;
Avalon catalina 27' wave glide, with under deck aluminum and 250 merc verado
Should I go to carpeted bunks? Should they be 16' long? Will the carpet or the pressure treated wood stain the aluminum?
Is there another choice?
When I park the boat, should I add a motor stop to the front of the lift? This hits the lower unit? I know I'm proceeding slowly, but?
The weight distribution....am I resting the back part of the logs onto 16' of bunk rail, which allows about 10' of log suspended?
Should I consider using a beam mounted pair of guides if I'm coming in with wind?
I know there are quite a few experienced boaters out there and I would certainly appreciate your advice.
Have a great day.
