Boat Lift and Canopy Suggestions

[jstenger]

I am looking to buy a new lift and canopy. I would like to have a high top canopy that has sides that come close to or below the rub rail with the tower up. I have seen a few on different lakes that I have been too, but not sure of what brands they are. Just looking to see what lifts and high canopies others on here are using. Pictures and info would be great.

Thanks

Got this Great lakes Lift in Sturgis MI

one guy in my subdivision has one of these for his Mastercraft:

Thing is really nice. He can operate the lifting wheel from inside the boat, get up to where the canopy covers the boat and then he climbs out and onto the dock.

He and another fellow assembled it on the boat ramp and then lifted it up onto the dock and then let it settle down into his slip.

We have one similar to Joe V, ours is made by Summit Marine. Initially the canopy was too low to keep the tower up when loading the boat, they switched out to longer posts and we can now leave the tower up. We do not have extended side panels to further protect from weather/sun. We got ours at a place in Richland, MI....I think their web site is boathoistdirect.com. I think you got your boat at Premier, have you asked them for any suggestions?

Premier sells Shoremate, which so far has the best canopy. The canopy alone is around $4000 and is built like a garage. It has a roll up door on one end, and goes well below the rub rail. I was hoping to find some cheaper options. I have looked at Shoremate, Summit, Craftlander, and Max. They are all available with high top canopies, but they are only 41" tall.

Why the rub rail length canopy? Do you have a boat cover? My boat never really gets wet when the cover is off tower is up and up as high as it goes , I got the extensions with the Great Lakes lift, shore station is another great lift. Stay away from craftlander.

How long are your extensions? I do not see them in the pic.

Nevermind. I think you ment post extensions.

I was hoping to go rub rail length so that I wouldn't have to use my cover.
