Don't Let Your Boat Sink!

When you think of a boat sinking, you probably think about a boat out in the middle of a lake or an ocean that, through a series of unfortunate events, ended up taking on water. An image of the Titanic may come to mind, and in that case an unseen iceberg was the culprit. Unfortunately, it doesn't take some big catastrophe to sink a boat; in fact, a boat could sink while sitting in its dock slip.

Faulty Boat Lifts


Just last weekend a boat lift on the Lake of the Ozarks broke, causing the boat sitting on it to sink. When the tow boat arrived, the boat was almost completely submerged in the Lake. Reportedly, one of the arms on the lift broke. Once it broke, the boat just slid right off the back of the lift and into the water. The dock was located on the main channel, which meant it was subject to some especially rough waters. Surprisingly, these incidents are quite common, with 4-5 other boats also suffering the consequences of this same situation so far this year. 

How's Your Lift? 


In light of the incident, all dock owners are encouraged to have their boat lift checked out to make sure it is solid and functioning properly. The waters here at the Lake of the Ozarks can be rough, and will take their toll on your boat lift. Summerset Boat Lifts is here to help! No matter what type of lift, dock or boat you have, we can take a look and let you know if we see anything that could pose a threat to your investment. Boats are expensive and we want to help you keep your investment protected!

Is Your Boat Lift Covered Under Your Insurance Policy?

What's the first thing you do when you buy a new home, car or boat? You insure it! So why would your boat lift be any different. You need to make sure your total investment in your boating lifestyle - which includes the boat, dock, lift and accessories - is protected. Your current insurance policies may not include your new boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Boat Insurance 


Every boat owner should check their policy to see what exactly is covered. Standard boat coverage usually applies to watercraft with motors, fishing boats, pontoons, leisure craft and yachts. It may cover collision damage, property damage liability, bodily injury liability, or comprehensive for your boat. However, it doesn't typically include PWCs or small watercraft and boat lifts are also not usually included.


Boat Lift Coverage


Most boat and boat dock protection policies do not include other equipment like boat lifts and hoists, unless you purchase a premium package or specifically add coverage for it. Therefore, it is important that you add it to your existing policy or purchase a separate policy to cover it. In case of dock failure or extreme circumstances, you want to make sure your investment in a Lake of the Ozarks boat lift is protected. Boat lifts are a valuable piece of equipment and can cost a lot to replace if not properly insured. Be sure to check your homeowners policy as well to see if it would include a boat lift before investing in additional coverage.

Make sure to purchase a policy that meets your needs. You don't want more coverage than the lift is worth, but you also want to make sure that you're covered for most scenarios and situations that could happen to your boat lift. Try to get your boat lift insurance at the same place as your boat and homeowners insurance because often times you can take advantage of bundling discounts. Be sure to keep Summerset Boat Lifts in mind if you do need to file a claim and have your boat lift repaired or replaced.

Boat Lifts for Big Boats at Lake of the Ozarks

At Summerset Boat Lifts, we've got you covered from PWC slips all the way up to 38,000 pound lifts! No matter what brand of boat or dock you have, we have a solution for you. Check out our new, big boat lifts at the Lake of the Ozarks below and visit our website or give us a call at 573-348-5073 for more details!

The 20,000 lb lift is an 8-arm mechanism ideally suited for many 37-41 ft day cruisers. The four structures on the top of the lift are duplicated below the tanks to create a rigid box that will dissipate the weight of the boat over many points on the lift and dock.

The 24,000 lb lift is available in 8-arm and 10-arm mechanisms. A four-tank system, this lift offers a superb weight to width ratio in stability for your boat! Don't float your boat...put it on a new lift from Summerset Boat Lifts today!
