I am thinking of all the stuff I have to do to my baby(steplift) next year to get her ready for spring. Here it is
Check for a fuel leak, cause I do smell gas when I fill her up. So I'm going to open the two small hatches that's where all the fittings are and make sure there are no leaks
Change the fuel line
Cut a hole in the console and put in a panel with three switches so this way when one goes bad I won't have to remove the console. Plus a bunch of other things
I'm keeping my boat at the marine yard this year but I'm kinda thinking I would have love to have her in my driveway this year.

My trailer queens are always in my driveway. Makes working on them sooooo much easier. I don't mind towing them. In fact, it makes it easier if I want to go to different places. (Sandy Hook, Barnegat Bay, Greenwood lake, Lake Hopatcong, Lake Ontario, etc.) You get the idea...
I think the cost of the extra gas used in towing is balanced by not paying the storage fees that marinas charge.

Destroyer, I have a spot in Atlantic highlands and just about everytime I go out ,useally on a Sunday ,I see a wellcraft steplift there, is that you? I want to keep my boat in my driveway but the towing, gas and the possible break down plus the wear and tear on my vehicle so I was very lucky to get a spot there. The funny thing is I live next to lake hopatcong and maybe only two times I put my boat in the lake. I love the shore for fishing. I do have a smaller boat that I will be fixing so that I will use the lake.

Measure from the transom lip to the bottom of the hull below the drain hole. Might not be exactly 20 or 25, you have some play with the mounting holes on the engine mounting brackets.
