snotty girl, I used a standard two sling lift to haul my boat (2006 215) out for bottom painting. My boat was set on two keel blocks and two jacks used on each side as any other boat would have been set up for bottom paint. It was out of the water for two days and there was ZERO deflection while sitting on the jacks and blocks even in the 100 degree California weather. I have a 175 Suzuki on the stern as well. No problem!

In fact my boat floats so high in the stern that when hosing down, both people have to stand in the back to get the water to run to the scuppers!

The boats are MUCH more rigid than some people make them out to be.
