I think we are going to sell our home and buy a house on a local lake. We've always wanted to make the move, but kids in school made it impractical/impossible. With all of the kids done now...it's time.
I'm going to go with lifts right away. I need 2.
One for the Bennington...as you can see from my signature, it's a tritoon and it's heavy. 4200 pounds dry.
The second will be for a Malibu direct drive ski boat.
I may be able to find a used lift for the Malibu, that's a pretty common size boat. But I may still go with a new one. Not sure.
The Bennington though - I don't think I'll have any choice but to go new.
Looking for recommendations.
I know I'm not doing sea legs. I know I want a canopy on both lifts. I know I want motorized winch setups, 12V with solar.
I just got done sending emails to Pier Pleasure, Dock-Rite, Newmans, Shorestation, Hewitt, Porta-Dock and Vibo. I'm not sure who all has a dealer in the area, or what other arrangements are possible. A local dealer will be a big plus. But not a $2,000 - $3,000 plus.
Anyone have any suggestions or opinions? Shorestation and Pier Pleasure have nearby dealers and a lot of market share. But they seem like they are a lot more expensive than others. I don't have a good handle on what the difference between a $6,000 lift and a $10,000 lift could possibly be...if they are all canopied motorized lifts. Any help is appreciated.
