Hi Brian,
That is why we are looking for a 4post lift, not a 2 post.

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!
