Of course this depends on the forklift, its limits and fork configuration. (Check the weight limit on the fork lift. Usually a 10% safety factor that should be adhered.) My 3200 (twin screws) is kept on a lift and configuring the bunks for the lift was a critical measurement. Consider through hulls, trim tabs, props and shafts, etc. Tiara provided a cut sheet for the hull showing dimensions so I would call the factory direct for more advice. For me, I definitely would not do a fork lift.
Maybe 20 years ago but they are doing boats up to 25 tons and 50' in length as select marinas.
