HOW WE BUILD BOAT LIFTS
Our 5-step process
01
Free Site Evaluation

02
Lift Sizing
We spec the lift to your boat plus 25% safety margin and choose 4-post or 8-post.
03
Install
We set the pilings or bolt to your existing pier, run the motor, and balance the cradle.
04
Test Cycle
We run 10 full cycles with weight to bed in cables and confirm clearance.

WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY
Real feedback on our boat lifts
“Mark sized the lift correctly the first time. No guessing — he weighed the boat, added margin, and it works every time.”

OUR APPROACH
The Dry-Weight-Plus-25 Sizing Rule
We size every lift to your boat's dry weight plus fuel, gear, and a 25% safety margin. This prevents cable fatigue, motor strain, and the premature failures we see on under-spec'd lifts across the coast.

Boat Lifts done right is invisible — it just works through the next storm and the next ten tides. That's the standard.
FAQ
Questions about boat lifts
>
How big a lift do I need?
Take your boat dry weight, add fuel and gear, then add 25%. A 22-foot center console with a 250 hp outboard usually needs a 10,000 lb lift.
>
Can you add a lift to my existing dock?
In most cases yes. We inspect the pilings and framing first; if they are sound, we bolt the lift right to them.
>
Do lifts work in shallow water?
Yes. We size the cradle for your low-tide depth and can use a beam lift if water is very shallow.
