Did you know, you can put a 800lb lift Mini Crane on the bow of a 4600 SCB?
Lift by Nautical Structures, St. Petersburg, FL. I now have a 13’, 5 person, Sea -Doo, explorer on the bow.

Great for cleaning, waxing and kids love to sit up there at anchor.

T Murry the owner of a 4600 SCB put a TNT lift off the swim platform. He can be contacted @ tmurray@med.miami.edu

How about a 48", 4100 SCA Hull Extension:

I've just completed a 48" hull extension on my 4100 SCA. I did this to provide me with a practical cockpit and open boarding area usefull for diving, entertaining, etc. The result has been what I feel is an improved profile and better waterline displacement. If anyone is interested I can e-mail some pics. and info. Having a great summer on Canada's west coast from Vancouver BC. to Olympia WA.

K Rosteing the owner of a 3700 SCR has added a lift for his jet ski to his swim platform, he says: "We added a lift to the swim platform. We house our Yamaha WaveVenture (PWC). It is mounted in such a way that it does not take away any space from our swim platform. It cost about $3,400.00, which is much cheaper than any other vendor. TNT from Florida has a hydraulic platform, but they are asking $16,000.00 plus for it. You can install a hydraulic arm, but it would sacrifice all the space on the swim platform. We purchased the equipment from Frank Radandt from Manitowoc, WI. We have used it a year now, and it works well. We have a manual worm screw mechanism, but he also offers an electronic wench mechanism. We have had some minor adjustments to make, but he has been very helpful at working through the modifications.

T McFadyen Says he has "been enjoying my 1998 4100SCR for a couple years now & have had a lot of good times with it. Unfortunately there were a lot of small things that needed to be fixed & still need some repair, but that's probably typical in the boat industry. One very interesting thing I did was to add a hydraulic davit to load a JetSki on the swim platform. I have a attached a photo to this email. The US Marine version was only rated for 400 pounds and used an external electrical motor - a design I've heard bad things about. This fully hydraulic model is rated at 1600 pounds and is more resistant to the effects of water than external electrical motors. It has been great - never had a problem with it. The manufacturer is QuickLift @ www.quicklift.com It was a challenge finding a service yard to install it though - nobody wanted the liability of cutting through the hull of a brand new yacht. For more information contact T McFadyen @ tmcfadyen@mcfadyen.com

R Cook Says: "I have a couple of pictures of a modification I have made to my 4100SCB we installed a davit and a holding system for a tender or pwc that can be removed in under a minute. If you think other owners would be interested I will forward the photos. Yes, and Rod sent these photos to us. Contact Rod @ rod@pacifier.com

I had my Freedom Lift, (below) installed this spring on the 4600 SCB... Just getting around to posting some pictures. We've used it all summer and are very pleased. While it was a bit pricey (~18K installed) I find there's nothing much simpler to use. The folks at Freedom Lift actually came down from Michigan to Cincinnati to oversee the installation. david@electronix.com
