When you think of a boat dock, you might think of a single eight-foot section that juts out into the water with a boat tied to the end of it. While that can still be true (although we recommend storing your boat on a lift above the water), there’s so much more to today’s premium boat docks than there used to be. Here are some of the basics, boiled down for you by the waterfront experts at ShoreMaster.
A boat lift is the best investment you can make in your boat’s performance and value. Boats can sustain damage from the elements and effects of the water, which makes secure storage crucial. Boat lifts are designed for safe operation, support of the watercraft, and minimum impact to the boat dock. So how is such an important part of the waterfront environment made?

Keeping your boat out of the water is one of the most important steps you can take to preserve the look, performance, and value of your watercraft season after season. It makes sense that choosing the right boat lift means choosing the one that you’re trusting with your peace of mind and investment. Choosing the wrong boat lift means risking a lot of damage and expensive repairs. ShoreMaster is an industry leader and engineers some of the highest-quality lifts on the market. As long as you’re here, we have these tips for making the right boat lift choice.
You’ve thought about your boat type, how to determine the boat lift weight capacity, the materials your lift needs to be built from to stand up to your area’s elements, and what style of lift you need. Have you thought about how tall your lift needs to be, though?
