Boat Lift Types (What We Install)

We specify Deco® box-beam systems and match the configuration to your vessel, dock, and waterway.

  • 4-Post Box-Beam Lifts — versatile, scalable capacities; clean installs for center consoles, bay boats, pontoons.

  • Elevator Lifts — side-mounted rails for narrow canals or limited piling placement; requires seawall evaluation.

  • PWC Lifts — compact solutions for jet skis/small craft; single or tandem setups.

Controls & Options

Remotes and auto-stop controls • guide posts and walkboards • bunk styles for hull type • load-holding gearboxes • drip-loops and protected terminations • stainless hardware throughout.
Electrical coordination provided with your licensed electrician.

Sizing & Fit (How We Get It Right)

Correct capacity (hull + fuel + gear), beam spreads for your hull geometry, precise bunking, and safe clearances for pilings, seawalls, and neighbors. We confirm specs up front, then tune and test on site.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Lifts are mechanical systems—routine service protects your boat and your investment.

  • Service plans (recommended every 6–12 months based on use)

  • Cable and belt inspection/adjustment

  • Grease points and corrosion checks

  • Motor/gearbox performance check

  • Control and limit-switch verification

Storm Prep: optional lift strapping and post-event inspections.

Permits & Inspections

We manage local, state, and federal submissions and coordinate HOA paperwork where required. You get clear updates at each milestone—submittal, reviewer comments (if any), approval, and final inspection.

FAQs

Do you install lifts with new docks or existing structures?
Both. We evaluate structure and clearances before recommending the best configuration.

I don’t know my boat’s exact weight—can you help?
Yes. We’ll look up your make/model and add fuel/gear to size capacity correctly.

Do you handle power at the dock?
We coordinate with your licensed electrician and verify safe, inspection-ready terminations.

Do you service lifts you didn’t install?
Yes—inspection and tune-up visits are available.

Why Your Boat Lift Matters

A lift isn’t just a convenience—it’s protection for your hull and engine, and the difference between trouble-free launches and costly repairs. The right capacity, bunking and beam spreads, clearances, and controls determine how your boat sits, lifts, and lands day after day. We specify Deco® box-beam systems, stainless hardware, and a professionally tuned install so your lift performs in salt, sun, and storm season.
