I'm buying my first pontoon boat soon (tritoon) either a Sylvan L5 or L3 DLZ. I have a boat lift rated for 6k pounds so no issue there. I just need to rig it for the pontoon boat.
A website indicates that toons 25 ft or greater need a 15ft cradle
Question: Can sufficient cradles be built? anyone ever done that? Just trying to figure out if it is feasible to consider building vs buying.
My support beams on the lift are 10ft apart (fixed). given the layout and the walkway on the right side..... I think backing the boat into the lift will make the most sense with most of the weight (rear) closest to the rear support.
As you can see there is significant overhang but I think with 15ft cradles it would be fine.
Any thoughts or opinions?
