Friends,

I'm about to lift my deck to the ceiling of my garage, and wonder what it weighs?

I had it off a couple of weeks ago, but used my lift at the shop, twin post car lift . . but it doesn't lift high enough !

Bandits, if you want free beers this Sunday . . come and help!
Pizza Too!

I would guess, 225-250 lbs. Is the interior in place? deck hardware? Put a long 2x6 (18-20 footer) from stem to stern to help support the bow section for "sag". I just run mine lengthwise over the two lift rings, with a slot cut in where the rings are, and towels under contact points, and support it like that. Put a large round dowel or whatever through the holes of the lift rings at 90 degrees to keep the board there or whatever you devise.

Bless you my son I wish I was in your neck of the woods it would beat sitting on my butt unable to work on mine. Did not know you were going to split it.

Wish I was closer so I could help! I would have guessed a little more than Lenny but he has been there!

Be sure to post photos. I will be doing mine this spring.
