Your boat isn’t just a boat — it’s early mornings when the lake is glass, kids’ laughter echoing off the water, and stress floating away with every wave. That’s why you need a lift that’s as dedicated to protecting those moments as you are.
ShoreMaster pioneered the welded aluminum vertical lift, setting the industry standard in strength, stability, and easy ownership. From dime-welded construction that won’t shake loose, to our exclusive Whisper Winch that lifts quietly and reliably season after season, a ShoreMaster vertical lift is the obvious choice for watercraft owners who expect more.
Whether it’s docking your wake boat after a full day of tubing, or simply knowing your tritoon is secure when storms roll in, this lift is over-built and over-tested for total peace of mind.
Built to last with unmatched durability, proven performance, and effortless operation — every lift is engineered to protect your boat and enhance your lake life season after season.
66" rack travel and a high 84" winch post handle fluctuating water levels with ease. Double V-Side lets you board from either side.
Precision-welded aluminum frame assemblies, reinforced through-bolted connections, solid brass sheaves, and stainless steel components are engineered for lasting strength and dependable waterfront performance.
From pioneering the welded aluminum lift to leading modern design, ShoreMaster’s 50+ year legacy is built on reliability you can count on season after season.
ShoreMaster's exclusive Whisper Winch technology delivers smooth, quiet lifting, while the protected brass pulley system and non-marring UHMW rack rollers support reliable operation season after season.
Every component of a ShoreMaster Double V-Side (DVS) Vertical Boat Lift has a purpose. From precision-welded aluminum frames to solid brass cable sheaves and reinforced connections, discover the engineering behind dependable boat protection.
The difference is in the details, materials, and construction methods.
Welded aluminum frame assemblies with reinforced, through-bolted connections deliver strength and rigidity while reducing the number of individual parts that must be assembled on-site.
Solid brass sheaves guide the lift cables throughout the system. The protected pulley placement within the rack structure helps maintain cable alignment and long-term durability.
Stainless steel lifting cables and bushings complement the brass pulley system. These components are selected to support smooth lifting and dependable performance in waterfront environments.
Reinforced frame connections use specified through-bolts and hardware, including brass flange nuts at designated connection points. Hardware sizes vary by model and assembly location.
Current DVS lifts include grease fittings at designated service points. These fittings provide access for routine lubrication as part of proper boat lift maintenance. Consult your ShoreMaster dealer for recommended procedures.
ShoreMaster's exclusive Whisper Winch system provides smooth, quiet operation. The Whisper Winch 3.0 features stronger chain components, improved cable control, and an updated drum design to help reduce wear.

Lightweight Frames. Effortless Off-Season Storage.
ShoreMaster Infinity Boat Lifts are designed for smooth seasonal transitions. Our fully welded aluminum frames are lighter than steel alternatives and built for easy handling — no heavy equipment required. Modular components and tool-free adjustments make installation and removal quick, even in challenging shoreline conditions.
Why It Matters for Boat Lift Owners:
Lightweight Handling – Marine-grade aluminum frames keep each lift section easier to move by hand.
Quick Breakdown – Welded construction and minimal fasteners mean faster seasonal changeovers.
Compact Storage – Disassembled components store neatly along the shoreline or in a small footprint.
Year-Round Protection – Store your lift safely out of ice and snow to extend its lifespan.
Whether you’re pulling your lift for winter or setting up for spring, ShoreMaster’s design makes the process faster, safer, and less work — so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time wrestling with heavy, awkward parts.
Bunks are an essential part of your boat lift. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to lift your boat out of the water—that’s because the bunk is the part of the lift that the watercraft sits on when being loaded and lifted. They’re not sold with the lift, but this is a good thing because ShoreMaster offers many options depending on what kind of boat you have. After all, each type of boat has unique needs.
Non-marring vinyl rinses clean and does not promote the adhesion of sand or debris to the bunk. Recommended for any V-Hull Boats.
Aluminum welded rails will lift your craft (under the deck) up out of the water with superior stability for premium protection. Recommended for Pontoon Boats.
ShoreMaster Pontoon Cradle Kit is a bolt-on, non-adjustable cradle kit. Recommended for any Step-Hull boats.
Properly position your boat using boat lift guides. ShoreMaster offers various guide-on options that mount to the side of your hoist, providing visual assistance when centering and landing your boat on the lift. While guide-ons are not mandatory for boat lifts, they are highly recommended, especially for first-time boat lift owners.
Adjustable horizontally and vertically for a perfect fit. Recommended for V-Hull Boats.
Designed to guide your boat in along the rub rail and without touching the hull. Recommended for first time boat lift owners.
Ensures the boat is in the right position and helps keep your boat from overrunning the lift. Recommended for Ski & Surf Boats.
Prevent the boat from floating through the lift during entry. Recommended for Pontoon Boats.
Prevent the boat from floating through the lift during entry. Recommended for Outboard or Inboard Motor Crafts.
