Like a house, car, or RV, a boat is a significant financial investment, and you want to protect yours as best as you can. While boats are meant to be on the water, they’re not meant to stay there 24 hours a day, seven days a week year-round. Using a boat lift to keep your boat out of the water when you’re not using it offers many benefits that all boat owners can take advantage of. Here are three excellent reasons to get a boat lift for your watercraft.

Your pontoon boat’s design makes it incredibly stable on the water. This design can also make it expensive to lift safely. If you already have a boat lift and accessories, you might be able to convert it into a pontoon boat lift as long as your pontoon boat is under 25 feet and you’re mindful of how much and where the weight is. There are three ways to convert your boat lift.

If you’re a boater, who has to get a lift into the water, the weight of your boat lift matters. Lighter lifts are easier to install, after all. Most vertical lifts will be between 400 and 600 pounds, with another 40 to 50 added on top for the winch or motor. Bigger hydraulic boat lifts are closer to 900 and 1,200 pounds.
ShoreMaster boat lifts are made from aluminum, making them as durable as they are lightweight, low-maintenance, and easy to install and own. Dime-welded construction means fewer pieces that need to be assembled on the shore beforehand, and accessories can be added to truly customize your experience.

After all, you don’t want to go without something crucial! Here’s what ShoreMaster includes with our boat lift models and the accessory options that we have available.
