    Default Shallow water lift

    I need some lift advice. We sold our last lake house where we kept our boat in 15’ water on a normal lift.

    We are currently looking at a new place on the lake of the ozarks abs the water at 2 of the houses is only 6-7’ deep at the dock.

    Does anyone keep their boat on a lift in that shallow of water? The mojos draft is 28” so that eats up 1/3 of my water depth.

    Yes I do, our lift is in about 5 ft of water for our Kaiyen. No problems but we coast one really slow

    We have a 2003 Moomba Mobius and have this lift: https://www.hewittrad.com/products/l...ifter-lift-114 in about 4ft of water. The drought here in MN this summer was brutal. I had to move the lift out deeper 3 times this summer.

    We're in 5.5 ft and with the mondo there was ~ a foot of room.
    If you don't mind the higher price, then Raptor lifts are awesome. You could use it in '3 of water.

    I got a 6k craftlander. My slip is 4ft on the rear and like 6 ft in the front. Works great. Had to get the longer legs for the front.

    You should be fine. Assuming this is a hoist lift? How much does LOA fluctuate water level wise?

    any lift should work in 6-7 feet of water. I had a Floe in 2 feet up front, and 3.5' in back and it worked just fine. Now have a shorelander and its 6' in back, 4' in front. No issues whatsoever. Floe makes a more shallow water lift but any lift should work in 6-7'

    I almost got a floe. It it was double the price almost. The legs on the floe adjust by using a drill instead of a pin.
