after measure for the cover I installed it on my lift pillings working from in my 20 fishing boat. I had to slide the fame back and forth tp assemble it

that was fun installing it with grometts and ball bungys to secure it

were I got it

I installed the lift myself using a pump to jet the I beams intro the canal. the hardest part was threanching 150 feet of 220v cable. now my covered lift is ready for the deackboat once the motor is in

the davit are a pain musling the arms in with the boat hanging on them

today I rented a mini backhoe to install the motor in the deckboat this morning got it done before the afternoon rain.
Looks good Mike. Nice back yard.
What Happened!
Oh I see put it on the other side, had me wondering there.
I think your a great guy Mike! now your visitors can stay awhile with their boats on a lift.
A good find for sure
