Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Looking at a used lift, sold through a dealer. The asking price was good, but I just got a quote for resizing it (to fit a 10' slip) and delivery to the marina - $750. Another $500 to have it installed. So the price of the lift ($3400 for a 4 y/o 6600# one) increases by $1250 to have it installed.

I have a friend who has moved lifts twice. He paid $500 for everything. The guy who runs our marina uses guys that charge $500 to move them. Hydrohoist quoted me a new lift - $700 for delivery, assembly, and install.

Does anyone have any experience with this, and does it seem just outrageous to anyone else? Or am I drastically underestimating what it takes to resize the lift (guy said it was no big deal).
