We decided on the SunCatcher made by G3. Model is the Elite 326SS, powered by a 250 Yamaha SHO, teak aft end, extra bow insert seat, black and gold in color, snap in carpet, raised helm, built in Garmin 431. Will get it In mid May. They did have one at the factory but I waited too long to decide, now they have to build it. Now I have to get a different hoist for the tri toon. Does anyone use a cantilever style lift on their tri toon? I like that style versus verticals lift, not sure if it is possible to find a make that does not have braces running across the middle.

One of the best cantilever styles you'll find is the Feighner HydroMax II. I was going to get their 6000# model but my water was just too shallow. They're made in Charlotte MI and I think he even has property in the U.P. They have a tri-toon kit that lifts beneath the logs. It's 12V DC powered so you can just use a solar panel. Talk to Scott and he'll take care of you. His pricing is very competitive.

Well, my boat finally arrived yesterday at the dealer from the factory, but the engine is in transit from Seattle. I am getting impatient duie to the fact I sold my boat a couple of weeks ago and I am boatless. I will try to attach a picture of it just as a test
