Boat Storage Options for the Winter

If you haven't already, you're likely making plans to get your boat winterized for the season. Along with that comes the decision on how to store your boat during the winter months. There are advantages of each type of storage option available and our Lake of the Ozarks boat lift company is here to cover them!

Store on Boat Lift

One of the most popular storage methods is to leave your boat up on your boat lift for the winter months. This storage solution is the most cost-effective way to store your boat since you already own your lift. It also means you don't have to take extra time to make arrangements for your boat storage solution. Another perk is that come spring, you'll be able to get back on the water faster!

Store on Trailer

Some boat owners have a trailer and choose to store their boat on land. You may have a storage building or place for your trailer on your property, which would be a free storage solution for your boat. There are also storage facilities that are available for storing your trailered boat. Many storage facilities in the area offer covered storage options to help protect your boat and they have great security options, as well. 

Store at Marina

Many marinas around the Lake of the Ozarks offer both in-water and on-land storage options for your boat. If you're having your boat serviced in the off-season, the marina that is performing the service could be a convenient place to store your boat this winter. 

As you make your final preparations to winterize your boat, dock, and lift for the year, it's important to schedule your boat lift maintenance at the Lake of the Ozarks to ensure your lift is ready for the cold months ahead. This is especially important if you are storing your boat on your lift this off-season. Give the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today! We'll make sure your lift is in good shape and ready to keep your boat protected for the winter ahead!

Easily Store Your PWC on a Lift

PWCs are a fun way to enjoy the lake this summer! It's important to protect your investment with the right PWC lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here at the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we have a variety of PWC lifts available. Check out our various options:

SINGLE PLACE

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.

Capacity: 1,200 lbs.

DOUBLE PLACE

The Double-Place Personal Water Craft 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.

Capacity: 2,200 lbs.

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.

SIDEMOUNT

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.

Capacity: 920 lbs.

Stop trailering your PWC back and forth for the weekend and easily store your vessel on your dock with a new PWC lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Contact Summerset Boat Lifts today to learn about your options and get your lift ordered before the heat of summer is here!

Popular Boat Storage Options

Traditionally, a boat would be removed from the water and stored on land during the off-season. While that is still an option, many boat owners prefer to store their boats on the water during the winter months. Not every boat in our area has a trailer and it can be tricky to find one the right size and shape for the specific boat you're wanting to store. And finding space to store your boat on land can also be difficult in our area. As the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know it's important to be informed about all of your boat storage options as winter quickly approaches.

Trailer Your Boat

Storing a boat on a trailer is a common storage method if you have a trailer for your boat. It does require some time and ramp access to trailer your boat and store it. There is also some added cost of land storage or storage unit fees.

Store at Marina

Many marinas around the area will offer storage options for the winter months. The professionals can remove the boat from the water with a trailer or crane and safely store your vessel on land. Again, this storage method will cost a fee for removal and storage from the marina.

Leave on Boat Lift

Leaving your boat on a lift all winter is a convenient storage solution that is relatively popular in our area. If that's your plan for your vessel this winter, it's important to have your boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks inspected to ensure it's ready for the long and cold winter that's just ahead! You want to make sure your lift is ready for the tough job of protecting your boat all winter long. It's a good time to have our team at Summerset Boat Lifts inspect your lift and make sure all the moving parts and joints are looking good.
