High speed hydraulic watercraft lift

A lift for raising and lowering a watercraft relative to a body of water, the lift comprising:

• a cradle comprising:
• a plurality of interconnected beams;
• and
• a plurality of bunks connected to at least some of the plurality of interconnected beams, the plurality of bunks being configured to support the watercraft;
• a plurality of cables liftably linked to at least one of the plurality of interconnected beams;
• a plurality of rotatable spindles configured to coil portions of the plurality of cables to raise the cradle and hence the watercraft and uncoil the portions of the plurality of cables to lower the cradle and hence the watercraft;
• and
• a submergible motor configured to rotate the plurality of spindles so that the motor evenly lifts the cradle,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of cables is liftably linked to at least one of the plurality of interconnected beams at a lift ratio of 1:2 and at least one of the plurality of cables is liftably linked to at least one of the plurality of interconnected beams at a lift ratio of 1:3.
