Great!! Happy to hear that!

Glad it was helpful!

You bet!

Hey @David Stock! Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck on your build. I just wish lumber was cheaper for you!

Hi Bernie- I actually didn’t support mine to the ground, but I set mine on a rough gravelly area. It would sometimes pull an inch or two toward the water, but usually I could step on the landing ramp and it would stay put. A little ground support would be a good idea!

Sorry, I didn’t make plans. I just used some sketches during the build to record my measurements.

Glad it’s going well. The hinge idea sounds great for transport!

I have the 155.. wondering how you made out! Any updates or dimensions are appreciated!

It’s finished..haven’t tested it yet because we can’t currently go to Canada. I plan to try it out on a small lake nearby...

I’ll put those dimensions up when I get home...👍

I went with pvc as a cost saving measure. My skis are old and I bought them pretty cheap. I didn’t want to spend a lot in the ramps. The ends aren’t anchored, but that’s not a bad idea. Mine are sitting on concrete and gravel, so they don’t slide much. I usually put my foot on the ramp while I start cranking to keep it from shifting.

Hey Guy! I’m in Northern MN, just a couple hours from Canada, but pretty good guess! The center to center distance 16.5”. I based that on the hull of my jet skis. Thanks for watching!

Hi @Michael Sharpe - that’s s good question! If you replaced the pvc pipes with two rows of casters, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Would you haul the whole assembly on a tilt trailer? That wouldn’t be a bad way to go!

Yeah it should still work. Might want to look at a winch with a longer handle to make it easier to crank up. Definitely measure on your hull to make sure you don’t end up rubbing in the middle. You’ll want to err on the narrow side to be sure. The back 6-8” of my ramps are in the water, depending on lake level.

Hi - good question! Yes, sometimes the lift will shift a little, moreso up than out toward the water. Out of habit, I just put one foot on the lift while I’m cranking. It’s not been a problem for me. Thanks for watching!

Hi Jean Sébastien- I think it would work. Just be sure to measure the hull to see how far apart your pipes can be so it doesn’t scrape the cross supports. Good luck!

@@NashwaukSteve That's exactly what I was thinking. What a neat design you made!

Hi Jean! I also just bought a Sea-doo spark, how wide did you make the cross supports?

Mine is 21” wide, except for the gusset supports near the front. That part is 24” wide.

Hi markbelina07- took me a bit to put it all together. I spent about $450 on this project. About $390 was for the lumber, with the rest being for spax screws and rebar. All of my sand and gravel was free from a local iron ore mine. Note that this was at pre-covid prices! Today the project would cost about $750! The 4x4’s went from about $1.20/ft to $2.00/ft. I needed 30 - 6’ posts and 18 - 8’ posts. I hope this helps!

As long as you keep the pipes from being too far apart it will clear. Mine does not rub.

So do u need to Measure it to fit my mine?

Yes, it would be recommended.

@@NashwaukSteve yeah, this is my only concern, too. I did measure and have spaced it 24 inches apart (RXT 255 is a big three seater). My solution if I screwed up once I test it is to replace PVC pipe with larger pipe. I can probably go up to 2 inch pipe if needed.

Would your spacing be the same as your trailer spacing.
