Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Hoisting montauk

I have a 17' montauk that I need to attach to a hoist to get in and out of ocean. I plan to attach two straps to the two transom tow eyes. Then attach another strap to the anchor atachment, near the bow. I have a 640 lb motor and 300 lb of scuba and misc gear, to add to weight of boat.
So has anyone done this? My montauk is a 1974, I'd hate to find out the anchor eye hook is not strong enough.
The guys at port orford Oregon dock told me to change the Boston whaler eye hooks. Say 's there cast, and I shoud get some others made of steel.
So has anyone done this?
Thanks. Jr
