 Topic: Wanted: Used Boat Lift in New England AreaPosted: January-24-2016 at 3:51pm |

Hi All - I'm hoping to snag a used boat lift for my 1986 Ski Nautique 2001. Last summer was my first season owning the boat and I had no choice but to tie her to the dock and let it float all season. I would love to keep it out of the water on weekdays when I'm not around to avoid the algae build-up and inadvertent crashing into the dock from waves.
If anyone is parting with theirs or knows of someone selling one I would be very interested. I'm in southeast NH but would be willing to drive a few hours to pick one up for the right price. Thanks! Tim |

Craigslist!! Also a good time of year to see what you local marina / dock lift dealer might have laying around.
Shorestation makes a very good quality lift, best bang for the buck IMO, |

Yeah I had a series of craigslist alerts setup for a few months looking for 'floe' and 'shoremaster' and 'boat lift' and wasn't getting any hits. I'll probably start manually searching again, but figured it wouldn't hurt to drop a note on the forum here to see if anyone knew of anything not listed on CL.

Hope you find one, but to prevent it hitting dock in the meantime, at the very least you could/should get some mooring whips (kinda pricy..) , or simply string it out between the dock and a buoy. Two lines fore and aft to the dock, then strongly anchor a buoy amidships with 2 lines, one to bow and one to stern. Have done it this way for many years on our annual pilgrimage to NY, has never budged, even in whitecaps, works great.

That's a good idea, definitely something I will look into if I'm still without a lift come springtime. Thanks!
