Let's Bust Some Lift Myths π΅οΈββοΈ
We hear a lot about boat lifts out there, but not all of it is true!
Here are the 5 most common myths π
1. Lifts are only for big boats β
β
Smaller boats, even PWCs, deserve the same protection and convenience regardless of size. Floatair lifts come in a wide range of size and weight to accommodate to any watercraft. If it floats, we can lift it.
2. You only need one in rough water β
β
Sitting in calm water still exposes your boat to algae/barnacle buildup, staining, hull damage and corrosion over time. A lift keeps your boat out of harm's way every day, not just when the weather turns. Calm water damage is slow, but just as real.
3. Installs take forever and are complicated β
β
Our lake crew or one of our trusted, qualified dealers handles everything from start to finish. Almost all installs are completed within a day, with zero hassle for the boat owner. You just show up to a ready-to-use lift and a ready-to-go boat.
4. It's too expensive to be worth it β
β
Accelerated wear, corrosion on hardware, algae/barnacle buildup requiring professional cleaning, and hull damage over time all add up to thousands you'll pay over the years. Most boat owners find a lift pays for itself in reduced maintenance, cleaning, and repair costs in a few seasons alone.
5. Any lift will do the job β
β
Every slip owner has different boats, routines, dock layouts, water depth, and lake conditions. The right setup is built precisely around each. Getting the wrong lift installed that isn't built around you doesn't just waste money, it can cause real damage.
That's why Floatair doesn't just sell lifts, we assess the details and build your setup to match the way you boat!
