I am in the market for my first tug which would be kept on my lift. The lift is rated at 13,000 lbs. Does anyone have experience with a R-29 on a 13K lb lift or do I need to upgrade my lift to 16K?

I think 13,000lbs would be marginal. It should work, but would not give you much, if any, safety margin with a fully loaded boat. We have a 16,000lb lift for our 2015 R-29S. (Note that you’ll also need to add risers to provide clearance for the keel.)

I had my RT 31 on a 15,000 lift and it worked fine - with risers as mentioned. I sold the RT31 2 months ago. If you are handy and industrious, you are welcome to remove the lift and all components and take them to Florida. Or, arrange to have someone do it. The cost of purchase and install was $12,000 two years ago.

Yours for free if you do the de-install. I can send pictures if you PM me.
