Thanks I am only lifting it 6in off the trailer ( to get the trailer out) I guess if something is going to let go it will happen in the first 6 in. or first 1 in for that matter.
I thought the boat was more than 750 lbs. I am not as worried with only 750/2= 375lbs each chain plate.

That said, I've lifted an older M17 with the toe rail with no problem at all. I'd do it, but I'd be a little nervous too. If I had my druthers, I'd use a strap. Your ordinary M15 weighs in at around 750 pounds. t On 2/19/07, Jim Sadler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Has anyone lifter their M15 by the chain plates?
