5 Benefits of Installing a Boat Lift 

Table of Contents

Boat ownership is an investment in leisure, adventure, and memories. So it’s natural to want to protect that investment.

Installing a high-quality boat lift is one of the best ways to do just that.

At DreamBoat Docks, we understand the unique needs of waterfront living. That’s why we specialize in providing robust, reliable boat lifts that offer more than convenience.

Here are 5 benefits of investing in a boat lift. 

#1) Protect Your Boat from Water Damage

Keeping your boat out of the water is the best defense against its harshest elements.

Constant submersion isn’t good for your boat. It can lead to barnacles (which you then have to scrape away), algae, and other marine organisms which attach to the hull and propellers, eventually damaging the boat.

It can also lead to rust, which destroy the seaworthiness of your craft. 

#2) Security & Safety

A boat on a lift is far harder to steal than a boat that’s merely tied on a dock. Many lifts can be raised to a height that makes unauthorized access difficult.

A boat lift also provides a stable, elevated platform for boarding and disembarking. Installing a boat lift reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially in choppy waters.

Finally, think about Houston’s severe weather. Raising your boat keeps it out of wakes and storm surges, protecting it from wind and water damage. 

#3) Convenience

When you invest in a boat lift you can launch your boat at the touch of a button.

It’s also easier to clean the boat, check its engine, and conduct other routine maintenance tasks.

Who wants to work more? You want to enjoy your time on the water. A boat lift makes that possible. 

#4) Reduced Maintenance Costs

A boat money saves a lot of money in the long run.

Many common boat maintenance tasks (clearing barnacles, investing in anti-fouling paint, repairing the hull) are necessary because boats constantly sit in the water.

Every dollar you put into a boat lift will be returned to you in the lifespan of your boat and the money you save on routine maintenance tasks. 

#5) Increased Resale Value for Your Boat

Eventually you might want to sell your boat.

If you’ve stored your boat on a lift, you’ll get more money for it. It’s easy to see when a boat has been cared for properly. That makes it a more attractive purchase.

You’ll sell it faster, too!
