    I cant speak to the lift, but I know the place( Not the seller personally). That's Riverview Marine, just south of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge.

    There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.

    You could tow it if you had a big enough truck.

    If you can get it to Texas, I'm sure that Bluedog has a use for it.

    Or, plug it in to your EV, hoist the EV in the slings, and drive it home, slowly.

    You wouldn't have to suffer the slings and narrows of outrageous four tons, anyway.

    White people using AAVE is offensive.

    Yep - I'd want at least 25 ton, though theoretically my boat is 20 ton. I think I'd still want some safety factor. That being said, it should do most boats up to about 40 ft. no?

    This is the part that got me thinking:

    " Our marina is being sold and this unit is no longer needed. "

    Because I'm in a bit of a dour mood this morning my assumption is the marina is going away to make room for high end condos...

    Most likely. That's not dour, that's realistic in this day & age.

    A local boatyard bought a used Travellift and it arrived in an ungodly number of pieces. They guys there say it's like trying to figure out a giant 3-D jigsaw puzzle.

    You are probably right. It is a pretty spot, 120 miles upriver from NYC. Perfect ( unfortunately)for a weekend getaway.
