[holiday3900]

Did you buy the one at Walstrom? It looks terrific and the F44 is our next boat...let me know when you're ready to sell We have a 2007 3900 Sovran, and we installed a Freedom Lift. We love it. Smaller boat than your but it performs well with the lift/dingy installed. We researched heavily at the FTL boat show with RIB manufacturers and Freedom Lift owners both in attendance before buying our RIB. We bought a Capelli [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] but we did a smaller motor (25 hp) than spec'd (40) to keep weight down (listed at 450, but they are always little heavier). Our final choice was between Walker, AB, and the Capelli, but we liked the style of Capelli with our boat. The boat handles well with it loaded...in fact, i'm more used to the handling with than without. the 3900 is a beamy boat at 13'11" but you're a foot wider at 14'11" so I think you'll be just fine. The Freedom Lift guys are terrific...Greg Vogel is really helpful if you need anything (they are based in GR) and they enjoy working with Tiara's because they are so well built. PM me if you need anything. We are in Saugatuck.

In all fairness to the people at Tiara, I realize that once I stray from the factory options, it opens up all kinds of possibilities which they can't possibly be expected to be experts on.  I apologize for my lack of understanding and complaining when I had no legitimate complaint.

Again my apologies.
