Me thinks I'd want 2 more attachment points laugh

Looks pretty balanced though.

Little off subject for the crane, but this boat is on a 3 axle trailer where as in a similar type thread, boats were on less axels.

Its more commmon to use a four point harness to the crane's single cable.

The other thread's trailer was a modified flat bed style used for over the road hauling, dual wheels, probably air brakes etc. Big GVWR rig.
This trailer is a modified light duty trailer, I would bet it needs three axles for the weight of the trailer with all the decking versus the actual weight of that boat.

That lifting harness is pretty neat. Obviously tied into the main frame work of the boat. It is surprisingly balanced given the engine is fully on one side of the connection point.

If you look, it looks like there is storage or a small cab on the trailer also.

Not that small a trailer, has an AC unit on it.

That's a lot of $$$ riding on one strap

Sounds like a boat dealership, but more fun.

We have cranes put boats in & out of the water here quite often. Just never been here when they've done it! We thought about having our boat put in & out with a crane, but at 44,000# the crane we'd need gets a bit spendy...

I'd say these guys spend thousands of dollars on these boats and I doubt they have any problems lifting the boat with the crane like they do. I doubt they think twice about it.

This boat looks a little smaller than the other one you took pix of?? Is it seabuddy?? I'm too lazy to go back and look. idn

The boats that are shown are slightly different sizes. Some maybe 14', some maybe 20', all approx.
