Hey, all -
D's canoe request worked out so well for him that I'm going to try somthing similar. I can deal with the modeling myself, but what I need are photos to refresh my memory. I'd even appreciate the names of manufacturers or links to catalogs, know what I mean?
So here's what I'm after. Those of you who grew up near water that freezes over in the winter will recognize it. Docks and boats left in over the winter get crushed by the ice. Docks are built with big metal wheels at the deep end, and are pulled out before the ice sets in. Boats are lifted clear of the water wtih hoists into metal frameworks that are either left in the lake or are also wheeled clear altogether. I'm not talking about trailers; this isn't mobile beyond the edge of the water.
I can probably do a passable dock assembly from memory, particularly since it'll be mostly underwater. It's the boat hoist system I'm after. A picture of the two would be killer.
Like I said, this'll make perfect sense to people who've seen one. So who has a cabin on a lake?
