Tips for a Safer Boarding Experience

Boating season is in full swing and you're likely climbing on and off your boat on a regular basis. Our boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks knows that it can present a few dangers to you and your crew. Our latest blog is all about making your boarding experience a little safer! Summerset Boat Lifts has included some tips to make your experience safer for all.


Kiddos don't always slow down or realize the gap between a boat and the dock is water (and dangerous water with lift arms and lift tubs, at that). Some elderly boaters have a hard time swinging their leg up over the edge of a boat or aren't confident as they step down onto a dock from a boat. Help ease those worries and help make your dock a safer place to get on and off your boat with the safety tips below!

Encourage the use of handles.

When others are getting on or getting off your boat, try to ensure to use of handles. If you don't have handles readily available, consider adding handles to your boat or dock support near the location you typically board.

Consider a boat with easy access. 

If you are really worried about others around your dock, think about the ease of getting on and off your boat when purchasing your next vessel. Some boats have a swim platform that makes getting on & off the boat easier since it is closer to the same height as the dock. You may also consider a boat that has a gate that swings open or closed for a walkway instead of having to step down onto a seat.


Get a helping hand. 

Try to support your guests as they get on and off your boat. A helping hand for stability can really help your friends and family feel more comfortable as they step up or down from the boat or dock.

Ask for assistance with heavy or awkward objects. 

Loading a heavy object on a boat can be quite a task. Ask for assistance with any large or heavy object, like a full cooler. This can help reduce your chance of missing a step or losing your balance while trying to load the boat for a day of fun on the water.

Install a boat lift walkway. 

A lift walkway can make it much easier to board and disbark from your boat! It's especially helpful if your lift is wider than your boat. It makes it a breeze to get on and off your boat AND is really handy for cleaning the exterior or putting a cover on your boat.


Install a PWC platform.

We have a composite PWC platform lift available that completely covers the open spaces around your PWC. Get one installed today to make your experience a safer (and less worrisome) one!

Now that you've likely gotten a chance to look over our safety tips, you may be ready to have a walkway or platform installed with your lift. Contact the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks today!

Boating Gift Ideas for the Lake Loving Dads

Father's Day is a little over a week away and now's the time to start planning your purchases to treat dear ole dad! If your dad loves spending time out on the water, a boat-related gift is a perfect item! Our boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks knows how much dad will love those boating gifts! Whether it's something simple or an extravagant item, there's a ton of options when it comes to boating gear!


Boating Gear

Buoys, towels, and hats are all popular gift items this time of year. A personalized buoy can give your boat a touch of your personality or even help you show off your favorite sports team. The boat lover will use these boating gear gifts on a regular basis this summer!

Floaties

You and your crew usually use floaties around your dock and boat all summer long. No matter if you're coving out or swimming by your dock, a float can help make it more enjoyable (and easier).

Towable

Tubes, skiis, and wakeboards are all popular towable gifts. If the person on your list loves spending time out on the water, you can't go wrong with a new towable!

Dock Locker

If someone on your list loves hanging out on the dock, they are probably in need of a dock locker. This is a great place to store boating and swimming items and help protect them from getting misplaced and keeps your gear organized.


Dry Bag

Any boat lover will likely use a dry bag or case. It's a watertight case that helps keep your belongings dry. This is a huge protector for phones - which are a common item to be dropped in the water and ruined!

Remote Control Boat Lift

Our Lake of the Ozarks boat lift remotes makes controlling your lift from a distance a breeze. Contact us today about installing one and stop jumping off and on the boat to let your lift down as you leave and return to your dock.

Day on the Water

While a tangible gift is always a great gift idea, most Dads just want to spend time with their families. And what better way than doing what they love? Plan a fun day on the boat with dad this Father's Day! Another fun gift idea is to go eat at Dad's favorite restaurant on the water! It's a memorable day everyone will enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!

Start thinking of what your dad needs for a stress-free and enjoyable day out on the water. You'll be thought of every time your father pulls out his new boating gear for a day of boating fun! That's the kind of gift that keeps on giving (and makes you feel like a gift-giving rockstar)! Summerset Boat Lifts wishes all of you kids good luck in finding the perfect item (we hope our list of ideas helps) and want to take a moment to wish all of the dads out there a Happy Father's Day!

How a PWC Lift Can Make Your Life EASIER!

A personal watercraft is one of the most common toys for those who live on or near the water. It's a blast to hit the water for a quick cruise or get your thrills jumping waves. Either way, PWCs are an investment and it's important you care for them with a PWC lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here at Summerset Boat Lifts, we provide the best PWC and boat lifts around! Check out how a lift can make your life easier, as an owner of a PWC:


It's common knowledge that a lift can help protect your boat or PWC. Storing it up out of the water can help delay and even prevent corrosion that can happen if you leave your vessel in the water all season. From scum growing on the bottom of your PWC to it getting bounced around on a rough day, it's best to store on a PWC lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. A lift also makes it easy to launch your PWC. Whether it's a drive on or up on a hoist system, your PWC can be in the water and ready for action in no time! Our lifts even make it easy to place a cover on your PWC when you're done for the day.

PWC Lifts at Summerset

At Summerset Boat Lifts, we offer a variety of PWC lifts to meet your needs. For a single PWC, we offer a sidemount and a front-mount option. We also offer a double place style for those with more than one PWC that needs lifted out of the water.


Sidemount PWC Lift 

The side-mount mechanical lift is available for the homeowner with property line issues. It’s a space-saver in that the footprint on the dock is only 5 1/2 feet instead of 11 feet.


Single Place PWC Lift 

The flagship of our PWC line, the poly tank front-mount unit is quite capable of withstanding any water conditions. The design of the frame gives a smooth modern look and superior strength. The flotation tanks are some of the largest in the industry and this means you WILL have dry feet when you want to maintain or cover your craft, GUARANTEED.


Double Place PWC Lift 

The Double-Place Personal Watercraft lift is an extension of our popular single place design. For considerable price saving over purchasing two single’s, the double is available in several configurations. The width of the frame can be fit to most popular slip widths including 10, 11, 12 & 14’. The frame is also ideal for the discriminating boater that wants to fully deck the unit.


PermaPort

The PermaPort floating platform is an alternative in the PWC storage market. The PermaPort has a self-centering entry roller for easy drive-on and five additional keel rollers to make the push off effortless. A key feature is the expanded poly foam fill that gives positive floatation should the shell become compromised – other brands are simply “filled with air” and will “fill with water” when punctured… The front-mount bracket has been upgraded to be Lake of the Ozarks friendly as well.

If you're looking to invest in a personal watercraft or have one already that you'd like to better protect, there's no better place to go than Summerset Boat Lifts! We are proud to offer the Galva-Hoist product line of floating boat lifts! They're engineered to withstand the rough waters that the Lake of the Ozarks experiences each summer. Our new PWC lift sales are complimented by pre-owned sales so you can find a lift to fit your budget. Contact us today at 573-348-5073 for more information about our personal watercraft lifts at the Lake of the Ozarks!
