My new lift.

I've tried ramps etc. but the body forced me to go another direction:

The rack:

In balance mode, foot holds HT in place:

In power assist:

Swing her in:

Done!:

The mount:

Total time 3 mins.

Possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Genius!

Forgive me...you will be at Segfest right?

I have to see this in person.

I hope to go but I'll need a bigger truck to bring both Segs plus the junk that goes with them.

Beautiful, Al!

Wouldn't two fit if the first one in was sitting more upright? Seems like a second one could be placed right behind the first one. How about just taking off the CS's, too?

Dan,
How have you and the Mrs been?

With the back seat down I have another rack for two with CS on.

Now, a cross country trip...........Wife misc crap.

I may just fly, I was hoping for Segfest on the west coast, of Florida !!

We're doing well, Al! Thanks.

Yeah, that's a looooong trek in a crowded van, and beaucoup bucks for gas and motels, to say nothing of four or five days each way.

I made it hitching back in '76 from Clearwater to LA in three days, but that was around the clock with no stops and great rides--one from Mobile swapping off driving all the way to Phoenix on I-10. I remember a number of drunks were eager to pick me up so I could drive and they could sleep. Fun times.

West coast of Florida, and we're there, whenever that may happen again.

This is a very good idea and just what I need for my boat! I am currently using a manual stainless steel davit in conjunction with a cradle made of strapping that is sewn criss-cross fashion. It works, but this would greatly reduce the need for elbow grease.

Where did you get the wench and shaft system? Thanks for sharing this.

Oh is this ripe for a joke or two.

The wench? Why she came with the marriage contract. The shaft system? Why I had it when I was born!

Of course, since I'm sure he means winch I'll stop now...although I do have a few more up my sleeve!

Born with it !!!!!!

I'll give exact info when I get home.

Here's the beauty of it, the arm/motor can be used on another base. Like the one on my boat !
