If you’ve made the leap into investing in a better quality of life with a boat, you’re hopefully prepared for a few upfront costs. When you're on Lake Murray soaking up the sun with friends and family this season, it will all be worth it!
Keeping your boat on a LIFT will certainly help with that, and it can also greatly reduce your bottom-line costs. Timberlake Marina currently has brand new boat lifts available to lease. Call us now 803-728-4413.
1. PEACE OF MIND - Untying a bunch of dock lines and boat bumpers every time you go out will be a thing in the past. Even more importantly, you won’t have to worry about your boat sinking at the dock if something damages it. A boat that is splashed around in the water can get a lot of wear and tear; even a little damage to the hull can cause serious problems with your boat if you’re not there in time to fix it.
2. PREVENTS DAMAGE - Storing a boat in water is one of the main causes of damage below the water line and can contribute to many other problems that your boat encounters. Water can cause a lot of stress on your boat and will shorten its life, not to mention, boats kept in the water are more susceptible to hull blisters and other damages to props and shafts.
3. PREVENTS CORROSION AND ALGAE BUILD UP - Algae is a big concern if you keep your boat in the water. Corrosion can also occur and lead to leaks if you’re not careful. Keeping your boat above the water creates an environment in which algae will not grow and corrosion can be avoided.
4. SAVES MONEY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE - Damages caused by wear and tear or corrosion can get expensive. Therefore, a boat lift can save you money over the years by not having to do as many repairs and routine maintenance adjustments.
5. ENSURE QUICKER, SAFER BOARDING - This could be extremely important for many people - especially if you have a Pontoon Boat and want to have parties with several people. If you keep your boat in the water, the changing water levels and lack of stability of a floating boat could make it a little precarious to get on and off. Having your boat on a lift means you're right at dock level and there's no movement involved when you board.
