3 Reasons You Need a Boat Lift at Lake of the Ozarks

Owning a boat comes with a lot of decisions even after you've made your boat purchase. Now you have to decide on where to store your boat, what accessories you need and more. While a Lake of the Ozarks boat lift may seem like an optional purchase, Summerset Boat Lifts is here to convince you otherwise. There are several different reasons that owning a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks also calls for owning a boat lift.

1. To Protect Your Investment. 


The Lake of the Ozarks has rough waters. By storing your boat on a boat lift, you're preventing your boat from hitting the dock during heavy wake or inclement weather. This will prevent damage to both your boat and your dock. The Galva-Hoist line of floating boat lifts is engineered at the Lake for the Lake, and is extremely capable of withstanding the roughest waters here at the Lake! When choosing to use a boat lift, you'll also avoid the possibility of your boat drifting away or taking on water and sinking.

2. To Reduce Maintenance Costs. 


Storing your boat down in the water can cause staining and other wear & tear. Leaving your boat sit in the murky lake water can cause wear and tear on your boat. Constant contact with the water can cause hull blisters on your boat, as well as staining. With a Lake of the Ozarks floating boat lift, you won't have to worry about constantly scrubbing your boat's hull. Storing your boat above the water line will create a stable environment for your boat when the water levels are fluctuating. Taking care of your boat with the use of a boat lift can improve the boat's resale value down the road.

3. For Immediate Water Access. 


In addition to preventing damage, a boat lift can also save you time and make your time on the water more enjoyable. A Galva-Hoist boat lift at Lake of the Ozarks gives you immediate access to the water. You don't have to worry about loading your boat on a trailer, taking it to a ramp and launching it before you can enjoy your fun in the sun. Unlike with dry storage, you can drive your boat right off the lift and into the water!

From personal watercraft lifts to custom 46,000 pound lifts, Summerset Boat Lifts has you covered! No matter what brand of boat or dock you have, the Galva-Hoist provides great value and performance. We offer a wide variety of new and used boat lifts at the Lake of the Ozarks, as well as service on any boat lift you may currently own. Whether you have a problem with your current lift or are in the market for a new one, call Summerset Boat Lifts at 573-348-5073!

Canine Cannonball Contests


Big Air WAVE
One of the most enjoyable competitions in the event, this contest consists of the dog running down the 40x8 foot competition dock and jumping off into the water for distance. While past winners have jumped as far as 25 feet, the average distance is usually only about 10 feet.

Extreme Vertical 
This is DockDogs' version of the high jump. In this event, a canine leaps high into the air off the “dock” to retrieve a toy suspended above the water.

Speed Retrieve
This is a timed fetching event that has the dog jumping into the water and swimming to fetch a toy that was thrown into the water.

Iron Dog 
Comparable to a triathlon, participants in this contest will have their best score in each of the three disciplines from the event (Big Air WAVE, Extreme Vertical and Speed Retrieve) calculated from the points table. The goal is to achieve the highest points table.


About DockDogs 


The concept of dogs jumping off docks as a performance sport originated here in the U.S., when dock workers would bet on how far their dogs could jump into the water. DockDogs has been the independent governing and sanctioning body for regional, national and international dock-jumping events for dogs since 2000. DockDogs tracks each official jump of all competitors, ranking the dogs nationally. In 2010, DockDogs sanctioned 150 events in four different countries that attracted more than 10,000 canine competitors.

Whether you're in the market for a new lift or you just need yours serviced, Summerset Boat Lifts is here for you. We want to earn your business and your trust! Contact us today at 573-348-5073.
