Sam went out of his way for me today and picked up some bunks for Dad's boat lift, we didn't like the cradles that it came with so I ordered full length bunks around 2 week ago, I was planning on grabbing them whenever I could but we had one of the cradles break off on Monday so I needed to get the bunks now but my schedule doesn't work out to get there during day time hours, they are waiting for me in Fargo now, can't thank you enough Sam 
I owe you big time.
These brackets on Dad's lift are a joke, the boat should be well under the 4000lb capacity easy and only lasted about a month before one broke, few scratches on the bottom but nothing major, you use the same brackets for the bunks as the cradles so I'm getting some different one's made this week, that will bolt on both side's of the square piece.
Not very impressed with Newmans lifts, Sam also went and took pics of one when we were stumped on how it went together, my daughters kindergarten class could have drawn better instructions.
I was wondering myself about the brackets when we put it together, not very much aluminum there to support the weight of a I/O boat.
The lift itself seems pretty heavy duty, I think with the new brackets and full length bunks to better distribute the weight it should be ok, they never charged me anything for the full length bunks which were supposed to be $320.00 for the pair so that was alright.
