does your boat lift go 5.5' deep into the water?

The lift requires about 5 foot draft to function, but then there are wakes and the storms. West Sandy is not a calm lake at times.

10-4...

CP. what about flushing the surrounding mud/dirt/whatever away with a pump and hose. A garden hose would work but renting a 2" line pump used in construction would move some stuff. You could attach a piece of steel pipe to it and work from above the water. That's my input, good luck.

I was gonna suggest something like this. Get a pump. Drive a steel pipe down beside with a sledge hammer it attach a hose to the pipe and crank that mutha up and blast the bottom out from around it. You might have to drive it in in a couple spots around it but it should blow out a good hole. If you could fashion something to hook on it to pull it out once you get it loose you can probably get it out... i know "you" can fashion something.

You guys don't forget I is 70 years in the making. It hard to lift my wieners sometimes.

I know you are, I was hoping you could find someone to help ya... with the stump... The weiner, you're on your own:D


If I were closer I'd help ya. We could get my wife to put her wetsuit on and "freedive" (not really diving, as its only 7') down and put a chain or something on it. If its like most small stumps probably bout all that is holding it is the taproot. Once ya got something on it you could probably pull it out with a boat or an ratcheting winch.
