That sounds a bit light for a 228. My 222 is pushing 4500 by the time you figure weight of the boat, motor, full tank of fuel, full water tank, gear, your weight when you go in the boat in the lift, etc. I'd go heavier. I use a 10,000 pound lift for mine; overkill but I'm set for my next bigger boat too.

I just had a 7000# Golden Elevator Lift installed for my 225 Tournament. I will report back on how it works out. My boat is close to 5K lbs with everything. I think you will be too light with that size lift.
