We ordered a FunDeck FD 196 OB – it should be in at the end of the month.  We need information on how to have our boat lift set up.  Please send asap – we have nowhere else to put our boat!!!

 

Thanks,

    Thanks - but he was asking me about bunk sizes?  Should he use 2X8's or 2X10/s?  How do I translate the technical information you gave into practical information?

    The lift is currently set up for a pontoon boat.  It is a 6500 lb lift, so I'm sure the size is okay - just the setup is wrong.  We have to get rid of the pontoon V-chocks and get ??????

    I use a typical 4-point lift for my FD196OB and it has two straight bunks of synthetic 2x6 laid flat and four guide posts with 4" PVC covers. I postion the boat fore & aft visually with a mark on the dock as the lift comes up. Sorry, I can't find a photo of the empty lift but I will take one when I have a chance.
