I have owned Carvers for the last 13 years. Had a Carver 366 for 11 years and now have a Carver 466 for the last two years. I am thinking about adding to the swim platform with either an extension or thinking is it possible to add a T lift. Maybe someone has done this and would like to hear any experiences. Thanks

Welcome aboard Ron. What are your plans for the extension or T lift? Just additional space or planning on storing a dinghy there?

Ron,
I too have a 466 and would be interested in peoples experience with lifts for a dinghy and still have room to walk around the swim platform. You received a lot of well intended "welcomes", but no real information. Maybe stirring the pot again will help.

Sorry thanks for all the welcome posts! Yes I am looking for more room on the swim platform. I have a storage box on the platform which is really nice but takes up space plus I have a Medline 500 that I tow around for coving out situations so it would be nice to lift it and have more platform space.
