When our Diamond friends from WIN came to visit the Ammerman’s gave us all a ride thundering across Sandusky Bay, navigating around Cedar Point boat traffic and out onto Lake Erie. While Thunder Love gave us speeds in the 70’s we were thrilled as much as if we were riding the Top Thrill Dragster when the Apache was running across the waves at 82 mph.
Billy Florence loves speed but he is much more comfortable in the air when he pilots airplanes. Fred Harteis loves speed but it is measured in the velocity of the ammunition heading toward its’ target. Orrin Woodward loves speed but he usually measures it in historic battles of the past.
The Hydra Lifts are a blast to use. They run on vegetable oil through hydraulic lines operated by the remote controls. The Hydra Lifts provide a safe environment for boaters who desire to have their boats out of the water by their docks. The Hydra Lifts sit on the bottom of the Bay and require no attachments to a sea wall. The installation is unique and fun to watch as they launch the Hydra Lift using huge floats and a five horsepower motor to deliver it to your dock area.
It takes a Team to sit the dock in place but once it is in place one individual can climb in his boat, use the remote to lower the boat and back off the area to spin around the Bay. The initial preparation takes a real Team effort much like observing my friends Billy, Fred, and Orrin building their Business Teams.
The Ammerman’s made our day and we are thankful they steered us to the Hydra Lift for Thunder Love.
