For the people with lifts, do you prefer to back your boat in or pull it in forward? Ordering a left and trying to decide if one is better than the other.

In addition to AllDodge comment, it also depends on the type of lift and water depth. Backing over the lift to put the boat away and getting clear shot straight out is great but you need the water depth to safely submerge the cradle to clear the lower units EVERYTIME including summer low water levels (if applicable).

I back in our Formula 370ss for the ease of entry. I drive our Skater straight in and board on the side of the back deck. Both at LOTO on floating lifts. Our Glacier Bay cat offshore boat on a cable lift in Florida I pull straight in and board over the gunwale. All of them work well. I would guess that backing in would be the best.
