Thanks everyone for the feedback!! You've validated my concerns…yes - the legs are adjustable - we spoke with the lift company yesterday, and they're gonna come out and raise the bunks, so that they're closer to a foot out of the water. Last year on the 4th, before we had the lift, we had no less than 10 lines on the boat to try and secure it (in addition to the whips!)…and still, it was being whipped around like a toy during the mass exodus after the fireworks - we were down at the dock holding it off for hours until the "ocean waves" finally died down. We actually heard the dock "groan" a couple of times with the weight of the boat pulling at it like that. I like the suggestions regarding facing the bow out, and using anchors and heavy lines for added security. I think we should be in much better shape overall once we get the bunks raised.
