No, it will not hold.

You would have to take if off and build a newer unit to handle 800lbs.

A Yamaha VX cruiser would chime in at 688lbs with 18.5 gallons of fuel.

I'm thinking about doing the same to our 2900 open.

I am semi-pro at fabrication and hydraulics....so I fall under the rules of "possibility".

Most likely, the transom would need to be reinforced, and to do this would require removal of the engines.

So it's basically a winter job.

And also you would want your "new" swim platform to be hydraulic.

Expect a price of $15K for a company like TNTlifts.com.
