Docking Solutions

Which type of dock do I need ?

When choosing between a dock on posts or floating docks, you must know the depth of the water where you plan on installing the dock.

If you have less than 6′ of water depth, we recommend going with a dock on posts.

If you have more than 6′ of water depth, or if you water levels changes fast and without warning, we recommend a floating dock.

What is the water height required to install a boat lift ?

With standard legs you can install your boat lift into 4′ of water. With th extension 6′ legs, you can install the lift in 6′ of water. It is not recommended to install a boat lift in more than 6′ of water as this couls unbalance the weight.

 

How to choose the right boat lift model ?

When choosing a boat lift for your boat, you must consider 2 things.

You must get the total weight of your boat, including motor, full gas tank and accessories. The capacity of the boat lift must exceed the total weight of your boat.

You must also get the width of your boat. As our boat lifts dont all have the same width, it is important to make sure the boat will be able to fit into the lift. We recommend 6" on either side of the boat to make getting in & out of the boat lift easier.
