The biggest forklift I've ever seen is at that dry marina just north of Everett. I think it's called Dagmar's Landing. When they first opened it, they had this big arch thing that they would roll into the water with a hoist on it to raise the boats out of the water and haul them to their dry-storage stall. Later they got what has to be the biggest forklift made, and put long extended padded forks on it, so they can just run the forks under the boat from the bow end, pick it up, and move the boat to its storage. This also allowed them to build sheds with double-deck stacked covered storage. I don't know exactly what it will lift, but I'm pretty sure there are some 40+ foot yachts in their storage.
