Sling marks?

[RichieRitz]

Anyone know if they would have put them on a 1999 215EC ? Will be helping someone put one on stands and would be useful for placement of stands. Thanks

Which boat do you have, a 99 215 EC a 340 or both?

Any 215 will not have sling marks, because that boat will not have anything but a trailer. If your taking the boat off the trailer, it needs to go on blocks. Three tiers, two at the stern one at the stem. If you use jack stands it will be on the ground.

It’s getting hauled out in travel lift and set on blocks with jack stands so I suppose yard will make the call where slings go best as well as best locations for the blocks. Was hoping to hear from someone familiar with this size sea ray for what has worked for them. Thanks for your input.

“Three tiers, two at the stern one at the stem. If you use jack stands it will be on the ground”. Do you mean 2 blocks high at stern and one block high toward stem. Which leaves boat almost on ground? He has the smaller jack stands so suppose those will be ok.

Three blocks high, two blocks wide alternating position. Jack stands will not work, period.

Uh. I do know boats on blocks need side support from the stands. But that’s just for side support, not to support weight of boat, that what the blocks do. So whatever, I’m sure you know what you mean but it’s not translating but thanks anyway for your input.

Boat isn’t big enough for sling locations.

Orlando is talking about putting two blocks next to each other... then the next level you would rotate 90*.

But, as you said, the marina is doing it - they'll know what to do. And, I wouldn't suggest you offer any "advice" to the guys at the yard doing this. I don't mean this in a negative way, at all, but advice to a pro, from a novice, often isn't received well You don't want to be "that" guy!

Really? Here’s a pic from the place I keep my boat. This is a smaller 24’ boat. Blocks hold the weight. Stands stabilize it. Pretty easy and effective.

So in one of your threads about this, I stated that block(s) along the keel supports the weight and the stands only stabilize the boat from toppling over. I have done this a thousand times. Some people don't understand what they don't know. Your post implied stands by themselves, which won't work.

Yes. I thought you must have misunderstood my post. I’ve blocked bigger boats in past. Yes I get the purpose of the stands. Just wondered where blocks and stands would be best on this small one but nobody here seems to have experience/ suggestions with this size boat so no problem.

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Did you read your other post about this question? I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in there. It's, by far, NOT an exact science, though.

I did now. Great stuff. Thanks very much!
