Lifting rig

[LEVI LEDET]

my bad it is 15ft for the long strap and the standard loop is just right
my friend bought a digital scale of the net and we used a fork lift to hang the boats

Looking at an SWS scale. Any idea what brand you are using?

I would make sure the loop on the front is big enough to go around the bow past the bow hook to minimize the chance of the strap slipping off when lifting. Also, when I lift my boat I don't rely on the tie down points on the back, I hook directly to the jackplate. I just don't trust the tie down loops on the stern.

Good points.

Very similar to what I was looking at. Thanks.

What scale did you go with Dave?

Levi are yall satisfied with the SWS one yall use?

Looking into getting one and SWS looks like the best to go with $$ wise

Got side tracked a little bit. I did buy the lifting rig from the Allison factory that attaches to the bow eye and jackplate. It allows you to flip the boat over. Way cool. I have not used it yet but looking forward to doing so. As far as the digital scales go the SWS seems perfect. If you buy two and a couple of cheap cherry pickers you got it.
