I have a 17' Montauk, 1987 on a trailer. I am looking for a harness so I can launch it using the yacht club power winch. Are there any companies that have them ready made to purchase?

Since every model has a different center of gravity, they are typically custom fabricated.
The harnesses design will be dependent on whether the lifting winch is using a spreader bar or not.

I have a stainless steel lifting harness for sale that I used on my old 1981 Montauk for sale. $100 plus shipping and it is yours. I am in the bay area. Contact me at gary.rose@gsa.gov.

The sailors at your club should be able to steer you to the right place.
If not find a elevator/ crane supply shop. They have all kinds of great hardware and the expertise to assemble a harness on site.
