I had a 20,000lb lift installed for my 3300 Open. The cost of the additional size over 16,000 is minimal. When I got my 3700 Open, I was able to get the lift upgraded to 25,000 lb (still on 4 pilings) but the boat maxed it out. Lived with it for a year, but was always concerned. I've since moved and now have the 3700 on a 40,000 lb lift. (thinking ahead to a 4200 or 4300 open....). My point--plan ahead! it's much cheaper to put the larger lift in NOW.
