BendPak HD-75BXT Boat Storage

[schell21]

Does anyone have experience with the BendPak HD-75BXT? I’m looking for a way to store an empty boat trailer in the summer and a boat and trailer in the winter (21’ fishing boat).

BendPak HD-75BXT Boat Lift - 5175251

The Ultimate Dry-Docking Solution You shouldn’t have to put up with ridiculous dry-docking fees, nor should you put your boat’s fate in the hands of unpredictable water.

I don't see why the lift needs to be boat specific. As long as the runners are wide enough for the trailer axle, any 4-post would work. Should open up more options.

Boat trailers are going to be 102" wide, regular 4-post lifts aren't that wide. I'm in the market for the same thing, I've only found a few that are available.

Bendpak HD-7500BLX (not sure the difference from HD-75BXT)
Olympic HDMBL-8
Wildfire Trailer Lift (WF7500TL)

If anyone knows of other options or has any thoughts on these, that would be great.

i thought thats a great idea, then saw the cost.

I can't think of any valid reason why not to use a 2 post lift to accomplish the same result and save $4K.

Added benefit , no flat spots on the tires come next summer.

Not all. That's why I said as long as the runners are wide enough. Only the OP knows how wide his trailer is right now.

I widened a Triumph 2 post 9K 1 foot to store my Ranger boat and tandem trailer , flipped arms over to get as high as possible with extension,s engine hood almost touched the 12 foot ceiling , no big deal , also stored a Ski Nautique on there also.
