Can a tank be added to a HydroHoist boat lift?

I've been trading messages with the local HydroHoist dealer, but I just bought a house with a 4400lb lift and my boat is 4600lbs (empty). Can a third tank be added so that I don't need to buy a whole new lift? Alternately, can the two existing tanks be replaced with bigger tanks? If so to either question, any sense of the cost to do so?

Yes, third tank is can be added. What lake are you on (I'm on Lanier)?

Here's a link for the Lanier guys, I don't think they go to Blue Ridge, but I would still check them to see if they have a used tank. As the metal dies on the Older Models, they are usually replaced with new ones and sometimes they have spares you can pick up pretty cheap. I wouldn't try and install one myself, I'd pay to have it done.
