So much of ShoreMaster’s catalog is aluminum boat docks and accessories, and we’re very proud of those offerings—we love talking about the benefits of aluminum. However, we also carry Rhino Dock, which uses galvanized steel instead of aluminum. It’s not that we don’t love aluminum docks, but because galvanized steel has its advantages, especially where Rhino Docks are concerned. Steel is a durable, cost-effective option great for large marinas, commercial docks, and other waterfronts that experience heavy use and need extra stability. Read on to learn more about our other top-of-the-line dock system and the benefits you’re getting when you invest in galvanized steel.

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.
