I don't know about NJ, but in Fl. you can't get insurance on any structure that is over water. Neither one of our boat/docks/lifts are insured, except for liabilty.
Good luck,
Dean

Would think it depends on your homeowner policy. I'd check with your insurance agent.

My lift failed (twice) and dumped my 2005 Fountain 38lx on its side. My homeowners insurance bought me a new lift after the second time. I am with Chubb if that matters.
