Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Lift Questions (long)

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

You're going to store the trailer and boat on the lift?  Wow.  That 
would make me very nervous and the boat and trailer together are *very* 
tail heavy.  The arms of any auto lift won't reach far enough back to 
keep it steady.  Detailed a 1999 Baja 231 Islander last week and I could 
lift the entire front of the trailer off the ground and move it left and 
right.  If you want to store your boat I would just take it somewhere 
that specializes in that, or buy forks for your lift built specifically 
for boats.  My opinion is that you will be asking for trouble!
