Many boat owners choose to use a boat lift, such as a ShoreStation boat lift, to store their boat above the water when not in use. This is because keeping up with the maintenance on a boat year round can take a lot of time, energy, and money. A boat lift, like a ShoreStation boat lift, can be used to lift a boat out of the water and hold the boat in a cradle above the dock. This is especially helpful for maintenance, repair, or storage of a boat, because storing a boat above the water can help prevent the growth of bacteria or mildew. When owning a boat in cold climate or in water that may freeze during the winter months, a boat lift can be very useful. A boat lift that will dock your boat completely out of the water will help you avoid any boat damage that often follows harsh temperatures.

When you first began the process of purchasing your boat, there were many things to consider. Purchasing a boat is a big investment and sometimes a large project for many soon-to-be boat owners. The process requires much time, planning, and research, as things like desired use, upfront prices and long-term maintenance costs, permits or inspections, and quality of boat use are all factors that you had to take into consideration. Because of this time, money, and energy spent to purchase your current boat, you want to be sure that you care for it as well as possible. In addition to keeping your boat safe from cold weather and the growth of bacteria or mildew, there are many other reasons to consider a boat lift for your boat.

A boat lift, such as a ShoreStation boat lift, is helpful because:

• Boats can absorb water that deteriorates the exterior of a boat.
• Algae can leave a residue on your boat that is difficult to remove. This algae can then leave you with a deteriorated paint job.
• Water that fluctuates over time can cause damage to the bottom of your boat.
• A boat lift keeps your boat clean and ready for use in seconds. This is helpful, because being able to use your boat more quickly will result in more summer fun!
• Storing a boat above the water can potentially increase the resale value of your boat[1], since a clean bottom enhances boat performance, saves fuel, and eliminates the recurring cost of paint.

When you are ready to purchase a boat lift, such as a ShoreStation boat lift, and expand the life of your boat, you want to determine which lift is right for you.
