hydrohoist lift for a TomCat 255

[dhstewart]

I am going to purchase a HydroHoist lift for a TomCat 255 with two Yamaha 150's. Is anyone using one of these for this particular boat. I am trying to decide between a 8800 capacity and a 10,000 capacity; Will the 8800 do the job?

Most of us have 10,000 motor driven cable lifts. See recent photos of failed floating lift--not sure of brand.

Scott Mortensen is suggesting a fully equipped 225 weighs closer to 10,000 than 7000 . . .

Has anyone weighed one? I have some corner weight scales for a racecar but I'm not sure they go that high.

I've emailed Intercomp to see if they have the old manual.

Here's a snippet from my thread on tandem trailer blowouts:

Weight of Ford Excursion Diesel Tow vehicle #7120

Total Weight of TC 255, 3/4 fuel/water, no people but all accessories including trailer #10280

Trailer Weight Empty #1900

Boat Alone (do the math...) #8380

Tongue Weight #1280

Boat was 8380. I wouldn't use an 8000# lift. Mine is 10K.
