Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I have a Hydrohoist boat lift. My bunk length is 15 feet. My boat length is 22.5 ft. I have a tritoon with a 200 horsepower motor. All three pontoon tubes are supported on the lift.

What I am wondering is how far can the rear of my boat extend past the end of the bunks safely? The lift float. With the edge of the bunks directly under the end caps of the pontoons, the lift is a little nose heavy.

Would I be able to have the boat safely extend past the end of the bunks by about a foot or a little more? With the lift floating, it does have movement up and down with wakes from boats.

Here are some pictures of my setup. Thanks in advance!

You will be okay by 3' or so. No problem.

Do you think given the fact that the lift floats up and down with the waves and boat wakes I am still safe with the 3' at the rear of the boat? Currently, the front of the boat extends 7 foot or so out from the bunks, so it stands to reason I would be fine. Thanks!

The pontoon should not be rising and falling with waves or boat wakes. Might be too small.

The boat lift is floating, so it is going to go up and down with waves by design. The lift is rated for 7500 lbs and my boat weighs in at 3500 lbs.
