The cantilever-style PWC lift may be able to haul up a watercraft weighing 800 pounds (12,800 oz) or 1,000 pounds (16,000 oz). You are free to opt for a lift made from steel or aluminum; both are affordable. The Dock Mount is similar to the cantilever PWC lift, but you will have to attach it to the dock itself. <br /> <br />Then again, if you hate lifts fixed in one place, you would be better off with a floating PWC lift. You can moor this portable lift with a weight-carrying capacity of 1,625 pounds (26,000 oz), anywhere you like; you need not worry about the depth of water or fluctuating waves. Whatever the case may be, choose your PWC lift with care, after checking the specifications and affordability. <br />http://www.carolinafloats.com/pwc-lift.asp
