[Rhodes22-list] Bunk spacing on a boat lift

[Donald Simons]

 Hi Barry,
Last summer I set up an aluminum boat lift for our Rhodes.  I closely mimicked the bunk location that is on our Triad tandem axle trailer.  Our lift is used and came with the flat supports.  It had been used for a 22' powerboat.  I added the vertical bunks to guide the keel when positioning the boat.  If helpful, I can take some photos and forward them to you as the boat is not on the lift right now.

 Hey Barry,
              Peter Klappert had an electric lift for his boat built in
Palmento Fl.  If you reach out to him he may have have the spects.
