I use a local marina with a pair of lifting slings rather than ramp to haul/launch my 2018 C24. Where might I find the proper locations to set the lifting slings on my hull?
Thanks!
 
Easiest is to see if the Factory put Sling with arrow down decals on port and starboard sides of hull.

Mine is a 2018 model, and I can find no decals. Might it be etched in the hull?
I'm certain it's not rocket science, if you've any approximate locations to balance the hull out considering my heavy YAMI F 300 OB...
 
I have a 2018 C24 and I have it pulled once or twice a summer to do a short haul. There are no sling decals or marks. The marina I use has experienced employees handling the lift and I let them handle it. The only thing that I do is make sure the door to the cabin and transom door are closed to help reduce flex. I would say the rear sliding is perhaps 3 feet forward of the transom.

I looked at a used 248 outside of Dallas Texas. The transom door would bind when I tried to close it. It would close but you had to force it. Owner said it needed to be sanded down! He didn't have a trailer & I think when it was lifted w/ a sling, the slings were not put in the correct position. Walked away from that Cutwater.
 
I had to sand and adjust two of my Lazzarette doors within a year of purchasing my boat because they started dragging and would not close. . My transom door is snug in the summertime and lose in the wintertime. I believe that a C24 due to its size is plenty strong. I don’t believe having my boat pulled in a sling has not effect it at all. It would not surprise me if the transom door needed to be sanded. They are strong boats but do flex and move. Just my opinion.

My trailer has cutouts in the rear bunks for lifting and to the center of the cutout to the back of the transom is 31 inches. I have had it lifted twice off the trailer since new.

Thanks so much!
What's the distance to the front sling cut outs, or does your trailer need cutouts for the front sling?
 
I just looked at my boat on the trailer and the front sling would be positioned centered on the bathroom window or a little in front of it.
