So it is interesting reading everyone's response here... the one thing no one mentions here is the damage this type of lift might do to a boat in rough conditions. In a back water protected area I have know doubt this is not a bad idea, and yes you would get scum build up etc. but you going to get that on any lift or device you put in the water. However the hinge points are few in that system, and a boat is going to have to be tied securely to keep it in place... all this means in business for the Gel Coat Repair Man.....
