So, a while back, I posted about a lift (hoist? crane? whatever!) for hubby's 911 hardtop. I was hoping to buy one for his birthday, and leave it at that.
But, NOOOOO, you guys wouldn't let me just buy it,
, you started suggesting various DIY options, including bicycle hoists, etc. I made the mistake of mentioning this to hubs. He got a faraway look in his eyes . . .
A couple of days later, a kayak lift showed up from Amazon. Apparently, the hardtops weigh about 85 lbs, which exceeds the recommended 50 lbs of most bike lifts. The kayak lifts are rated for 100-125 lbs, depending on model.
So now I'm out another birthday present idea,
but turns out it works great. Cost about $50 as opposed to the usual $200 hardtop lift (hoist?, crane?).
Thought I'd pass it along and say thank you, guys, for the great idea!
