Personal Watercraft Lifts at Lake of the Ozarks

At Summerset Boat Lifts, we can lift anything from canoes to cruisers and everything in between. While personal watercraft are going to be less expensive than a yacht, they're still an investment. In order to protect that investment, you'll need a Lake of the Ozarks personal watercraft lift.  Summerset Boat Lifts manufactures 3 types of personal watercraft lifts.

1. Sidemount

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

2. Single Place

The flagship of our PWC line, the poly tank front-mount unit is quite capable of withstanding any water conditions. The single-tank, by design, will hold your machine higher out of the water than a two-tank system would. This means you WILL have dry feet when you want to maintain or cover your craft, GUARANTEED!

3. Double Place 

The double-place personal watercraft lift is an extension of our popular single tank design. Purchasing one offers considerable price savings over purchasing two single's. The double is also available with a full deck.

Summerset Boat Lifts is 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 year. No matter what brand of boat or dock you have, the Galva-Hoist boat lifts provide great value and performance. Our new lift sales are complimented by pre-owned sales to fit your budget. Contact us today at 573-348-5073 for more information about our watercraft lifts at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Choosing the Right Size Boat Lift for Your Boat

Here at Summerset Boat Lifts, we specialize in Galva-Hoist floating boat lifts.  Galva-Hoist is engineered at the lake for The Lake…Lake of the Ozarks. The Galva-Hoist is extremely capable of withstanding the roughest waters here at the lake. No matter what brand of boat or dock you have, the Galva-Hoist at the Lake of the Ozarks provides great value and performance.  Now your only challenge is deciding what size lift you need for your boat. BoatLiftBlog.com has a great list of things to consider.

Find the Overall Weight 

When determining the weight of your boat, you need to account for many other things besides just the dry weight of the unit.  You need to think about all the extras you have added since you bought it such as fuel, gear, non-factory additions and additional water on board.  This will give you a more accurate weight allowing you to choose the correct capacity for your Lake of the Ozarks boat lift.  

• The dry weight of your watercraft is usually provided on the specification sheet for the unit.  If not, visit www.NADAGuides.com to find the information you need.  Remember that the dry weight listed typically doesn't account for outboard motors.  
• Depending on the temperature, type and blend, gasoline weighs 5.91 to 6.42 lbs per gallon.  With this information and the capacity of your fuel tank, you can get a rough estimate on how much weight a full fuel tank will add to your watercraft.   
• Be sure to account for all the extra things you have stored in your boat such as skis, wakeboards, anchors, etc. 
• Non factory additions also need to be accounted for.  This includes anything not installed from the factory like wakeboard towers, bimini tops or additional seating.  
• Water weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon, so be sure to account for any live wells, ballasts or sacks that may be full when lifting your watercraft. 

Find the Beam 

Once you have determined the lift capacity, you need to find the beam.  The beam of a boat, pontoon or PWC is the most extreme width or breath of the watercraft.  Basically its the widest portion of your boat.  Once you've figured that out, you can determine the inside width needed to easily park your boat on the lift.  Its always a good idea to give yourself a cushion of about 10-12 inches. 

At Summerset Boat Lifts, we pride ourselves in service.  We are here to help you choose the right size for your boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks.  From personal watercraft lifts all the way to custom 46,000 lb lifts, we've got you covered.  Visit our website to view our new and used boat lift options.

5 Boat Lift Maintenance Tips You Can Perform Yourself

A boat lift's job is to protect your boat from the rough waters and wind.  It should also isolate your hull's running gear from the damaging effects of in-water storage.  Boats not only perform better when not left in the water, but keeping them out of the Lake when not in use will help to prevent hull staining, blistering and premature corrosion of your boat.  Lower boat maintenance costs, more time on the water, better fuel mileage and retained resale value are all benefits of owning a boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Although you will see less of a need for boat maintenance, it is important to regularly check your boat lift to make sure its working properly and doing its job of protecting your boat.  Below is a list of general maintenance tips that should be performed semi-annually.

1. Complete a visual inspection of all moving parts, bushings, hoses and hose clamps.  If you see something out of place, give Summerset Boat Lifts a call.

2. Check all nuts, blots and hose clamps with a wrench for tightness, ensuring they comply with torque specifications.

3. Remove the motor cover and clean out any debris that may have gotten in there.

4. Check carpeted bunks for worn areas and tears, replace them as necessary.

5. Inspect condition of wood bunks and replace them if any are cracked or split.

During the off-season or extended periods of no boating activity, you should occasionally operate your lift to keep it a peak performance.  By simply running the lift for about a minute in each direction, you will keep the motor clean and bearings evenly lubricated. If you have any questions about boat lift maintenance at the Lake of the Ozarks or if there is problem to difficult for you to handle on your own, give Summerset Boat Lifts a call!  We pride ourselves in service, and it’s what sets us apart from everyone else. We want our customers to relax knowing their boat lift needs are being handled by professionals.
