Hi John,

The lift you have is the type I looked at for years but I didn't want the heavy weight or large size of it. I also didn't like having a hydraulic line and pump to see all the time or fall over. The lift I bought is good for 4000 lb. which is plenty for an Amphicar but is smaller and light enough to easily turn on it's side against the wall. Sometimes I want the garage flloor clear for other projects.

I know this lift is more expensive than the Harbor Freight variety but it's exactly the kind of lift I was looking for. It's kind of rare when something you've been looking for, for a long time, just suddenly shows up. I was very happy to find it, even at a "made in America" price.

The ladder in the photo is leaned back more than it appears but I always worry a bit about earthquakes and what could happen. I've lived in California for over 30 years and have only felt 2 earthquakes, neither of which did any damage.
