[Rhodes22-list] Survey

That lift looks like mine.
It stops at the rub rail.
It looks like your aluminum channel was reinforced with Delrin and has a piece broken when you took the photo. 
My aluminum channel is bent and weak closer to the top so it needs to be replaced or reinforced.
I’m temporarily using a West Marine lift. 
I’m most curious about hoe the 20” shaft performs in the waves. Does you prop come out of the water in the waves? 
My 25” shaft  on that same GB mount had problems in waves over 2 feet. It will spin out of the water when the stern is up and bow down. 
Thank you all for you replies and photos - very helpful.
