Boat Lifts

The cheapest insurance a boat can have is being out of the water. We size, install and service lifts that work every single launch.

Sized right or not at all

An undersized lift is a slow-motion failure: strained cables, bent bunks, and a boat that sits low and wet. We size from your boat's real loaded weight - typically 20 percent over the brochure number once fuel and gear climb aboard - and set bunks to support the hull where the manufacturer says it should be carried.

Installed lifts get leveled to your water, tested with your boat and demonstrated until the launch routine is boring - which is the goal.

Common questions

What size lift do I need?

Loaded weight plus margin. Bring your boat model and we'll do the real math - fuel, water, batteries and that summer's worth of gear included.

Freestanding or dock-mounted?

Bottom conditions and dock style decide. We'll recommend from an on-water look, not a phone guess.

Do lifts need maintenance?

Annual cable, pulley and drive checks - cables are wear items and a snapped one is a bad day. Our service visit is quick and cheap against that outcome.

Launch in thirty seconds, store bone-dry.
