Using Jet Ski Lift to Support SPORT 13
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2022 11:22 am
I am currently restoring a 1973 SPORT 13. I am trying to find a place to keep it off my dock. The previous owners of my house installed a jet ski lift [that was later clarified to have a rating of 1,500-lbs capacity and is mounted to a single piling].
Q1: will a jet ski lift [later clarified to have a rating of 1,500-lbs capacity and mounted to a single piling] be an adequate platform on which to keep a 1973 SPORT 13?
The lift's weight limit [of 1,500-lbs would not be exceeded by the weight of the SPORT 13 boat].
Q2: have other SPORT 13 owners have had success [using a jet ski lift]?
I hope to get advice from other SPORT 13 owners.
I am considering lengthening the bunks on the lift to accommodate the longer hull.
Q3: [how close to the lift's rated capacity of 1,500-lbs should be the weight lifted]?
Thanks.
