Victor, Now would I take it out of the water when I want to get under the car or just drive off the dock using some plywood? Just need to tie a bobber to all my tools.

Here is a good link to the Workhorse. I do like the versatility of it. I know everyone that wants to borrow it would too.

I have a commercial unit made by direct lift. best thing I ever bought. I park the car on it and I park my Explorer underneath it. I use it all the time for all my cars.

It cost me $1800. on sale from a place in Buffalo, and I bought a bridge jack from the same place for $350 bucks. It makes everything easier, especially the bridge jack. Used it putting in the motor mounts among other things..

The thing has wheels, I can roll it around the garage with the car still on it, beutiful thing it is.....Uses 110 circuit, no brainer if you want a lift.

Looks like Victor made a pretty nice deal on these for us. I will be just under $2600 with shipping and the oil to fill the thing up. It sure will be nice to have something that can be used inside or outside. I personally much prefer working outdoors with natural lighting when the weather is good.

Got my lift delivered today. Now comes assembly. After looking over the design, build qaulity. and all the bits that are involved, I do not know how they can make and sell them for $2300. Victor is already using his and he says it is just a little too high for a 944 or 928. What I might do is pre-cut some 2x6's to help elevate the cars some and then drive them on rather than pushing the lift under from the side.

it does slide under the 928, but it is definitely a tight fit. If you car is lowered at all or your exhaust hangs a little low it will catch when you slide her under.
Robs 2x blocks sould do the trick though

Works great, don't it! I love my Workhorse lift!

It just clears the underside of my car, with the 1.5 pins and pads.

I looked for a used two post last year and was pleased to find they are easy to find. -mine was on Craigslist, a looks nearly new Rotary for $1200 delivered to my barn. I'll wire it up myself this summer.
It would not be worth my time to rig up a homemade unit.... and I am a really frugal person.

Assembly complete on the new lift but it will be a while before I get to use. It was pretty easy to put together even without instructions being in the box. The hard part was the tower. I did it myself using a crane but 4 guys could get it stood up too.

I would post a pic of mine but I think Victors pic above pretty much says it all. I just wish my engine bay in my car looked as good as his. Those sure are some good looking intake snouts. lol

Used my lift today for the first time. Had a smile on my face the entire time while doing brakes and oil on my girl's Jetta. What a great investment.
