Boat lifts.

What Lift do you have? 

What Lift do you like? 

[RCorsa]

Just bought a sunstream lift for my new dock which will hold my m235 this spring.

Floe 8000 lb VSD. 30 foot canopy. 

[The Hulk]

Max 7 or 8k with 32ft canopy with extra wide 144in inside beam tripple beam carriage, (no need to swing boards in) and super deep 7ft deep canopy frame. With guides and walk on guides and catwalk all the way around. 

Stationary lifts: I like MAX, FLOE, shorestAtion, shoremaster, Hewitt, Newman great lakes, floe, all for various reasons. 

 Floating lifts: very similar hydrohoist, rhino, boat floaters, exono, poly etc.. very cheap lifts only 3-7k, but expensive docks/boat houses

Overhead style lifts: east coast, doozies, tide tamer, BH USA, (new shoreSration) . nearly all same except SS style.. very cheap for lift 2-6k, but boat house structures are expensive

 

Piling, style lifts; golden, premier, IMC, (new shoreSration) many others, also all near same with slight variations excluding new SS style.  Lift itself also not too expensive but piling and dock structures are 

Same as boats... Just depends on options u like , style u need,  accessories u want, where your boating at, and the $ your willing to part with!

We have a Portadock 6000lb stationary with 28ft canopy. The owners of Portadock are our neighbors on the lake and they are excellent people. Never an issue with our 2014 A24.

Same here. We really like it.

I have a floe and really do NOT care for it. Had several issues with the adjustable leg screws giving way. I have the 4600lb. I would not buy another.

I like my 6000lb Hewitt hydraulic lift.  It is wide open in center and no issues with an inboard hitting a cross bar.  Would never go back to a cable lift.  My buddy next to me has Shore Station cable lift with an MXZ and can barely clear his cross bars which then creates problems when water level goes down.  And he breaks cables.  My Hewitt will go down to the bottom of the lake.  No issues.

+1 on the Hewitt hydraulic. I have a 6100lb for my 23LSV and love it. Quick and quiet. Good for lake levels that fluctuate.

I have a 6000lb ShoreMaster hydraulic for my 21LSV.

48" rise.  120"wide.  29' canopy with extended sides on the canopy cover.

Carpeted loading guides.

Works great.  Remote control up/down and interior canopy light.

It's not too wide.  Not that I want/need it to be wider but it couldn't be any narrower.

Need to fold racks in when driving into it.
