Boat Lift Feedback
 
After 6 years of towing to the ramp I've decided this fall is boatlift time (not to mention my dock is looking worse for wear so the timing is right).

Need an elevator lift and would probably put one in that was 18-20k capacity in case I ever win the lottery and move up.

Any feedback on either of these companies (or does anyone know of other options I should look at)

scratch golden they don't do vertical over 10k lbs - has to be at a 22.5* angle.

Boat lifts unlimited out of Odenton MD (410/674-3100 ) or one of their dealers might be able to help you .I have done business with them for more than 20 years . I think the price and service I get from them would be hard to beat . :ernaehrung004:

Thanks Ray - I called them but they don't do an elevator in a vertical configuration over 10k lbs...

Yeah - I've seen those but I couldn't get away with it because of length behind the dock to my neighbors dock.

I'm having some work done on my dock now and the guy swears by a company called High Tide boat lifts. He's put in a lot of others but says this one is the best in his opinion. I have a lift now that were trying to modify but if it doesn't work I will probably use one these.

couldn't you submerge the lift and lift it when you are above it? or not deep enough?

I found them too tonight in my search. Along with all of the following which I'll call tomorrow. Several of the guys today that I called said they didn't want to do anything over 13k in a vertical - they wanted to put them on a 25* angle which isn't what I want either functionally or astetically.

First pic is wifey's boat (40,000# lift). To bad Golden didn't work out, it has been a very good lift. We also have a Quality Lift, better quality but a lot more expensive compaired to Golden.

We should have gotten rolalties, this picture was taken of our superlift. When I ordered the lift, Quality wanted to get one of their superlifts in the area for "show and tell" so they upgraded our order from a 20,000# lift to this 33,000# lift. They used our install for their brochure.
