Default Re: Ok which is it?

On the SeaCrafts the best place please for a fork lift to lift your boat is on the last steps port and starboard they are 16” wide and there is nothing except the trim tabs that could hinder that location. You should always lift up the tabs before towing or lifting your boat.

The best place for trailer bunks or for it to rest in a cradle is just inside that or on top of the next step close to the end as possible both port and starboard. That is directly over the stringers of the boat and the strongest part of the boat for transport or in a cradle.

There should not be any through hull fittings under the boat at this location since it is under the stringers and still pretty far out.

I would not want any one to put my boat on a through hull fitting, live well scoop, or ducer either. The only exception would be on the original through hull fittings that drained in a 90 degree angle which were brace tubes with no real lip to put strain on.
