Welcome to the ShoreMaster Blog – Your Dockside Source for Lake Life Inspiration

There are are a lot of reasons why a predominantly welded dock or boat boat lift is superior to a predominantly bolted-together dock or boat lift. Below are 5 reasons why welded docks and boat lifts are better than bolt-together docks and boat lifts, most of them center around the reduced maintenance and superior durability of welded docks and lifts.

Now that it’s officially Springtime, you know that warm weather is just around the corner, the snow is melting, the ice on the lake is getting darker, and you are seriously itching to get out on the water for some summer relaxation. You won’t find a better place to take in all that the outdoors, fishing, boating, dock and lift, and lake cabin/home improvement industries has to offer than at a boat or sport show. You know exactly what you need to get done on that first trip to the cabin this year, you also know exactly what kind of accessories you want to add to your boat to make it fish ready this year, perhaps you need a new pontoon, or maybe you’re exploring your options to upgrade your old wooden dock to a new light-weight aluminum dock system with maintenance free decking. The best place to find all of this, and spend some time with the family this weekend is at your nearest boat, sport, or travel show. But you’ll need to hurry, the season for planning and exploring by visiting a boat show is nearly over, because in just a couple of weeks, it’ll be the season for doing…all the things you love to do at the lake.

Just for fun we thought we would share with you an interesting and perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek infographic that shows the variations of the word dock by state or region. While it seems a dock is simply called a dock in much of the country, how about our friends on the Kentucky / Tennessee boarder, no doubt on the shores of Dale Hollow Lake, referring to a dock as “that thing where I park my houseboat”?

Some might argue that premium service is hard to find in the dock and lift industry. To that, we say that it’s likely you haven’t visited an authorized ShoreMaster dealer yet.
