I am trying to confirm correct boat lift size for Annapolis, MD area.
A 2001 Tiara 3100 Open/Gas is around 12,300lbs dry wet. Boat has a generator, no hardtop. I assume with full gas tanks, water, a couple of people would add another 2,000lbs to include some snow in the winter.
Looking for correct size lift. 15,000 to 16,000lbs or a 20,000lb lift. Trying to stick with 4 pilings.
Any comments on Galvanized vs Aluminum? Some comments were mixed on the Internet.
