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
