Tide Tamer, Floatair, WaveArmor, American Muscle — sized to your hull and your slip. Cleaner hull, less wear, faster mornings.
A properly sized lift protects your investment from the things that take years off any boat — algae growth, blistering gelcoat, corrosion in standing water, and the bumps that come with bobbing at a tie. Lifts also make every trip easier: lower, drive on or off, raise, you’re done.
We install fixed-dock lifts (Tide Tamer), floating-dock lifts (Floatair), and platform-style PWC and jet ski lifts (WaveArmor, American Muscle). Sizing comes from your hull weight, slip width, and the water depth at low pool.
Three configurations cover roughly 95% of what we install. We’ll match one to your hull, slip, and dock type during the site visit.
Cable-driven, four-post vertical lifts that raise the boat straight up out of the water. Mounted to fixed-dock piles inside the boathouse. Capacities from 4,500 to 45,000+ lbs for runabouts, pontoons, and wakeboats.
Drive-on platform lifts (Floatair) that integrate into a floating dock and rise and fall with the lake. No piles required — ideal for floating-dock setups on TVA reservoirs.
Floating drive-on platforms (WaveArmor, American Muscle) for one or two personal watercraft. No motor required — you simply ride on, ride off. The fastest install on any dock.
For fixed-dock installs, Tide Tamer is the lift we install most often. Aluminum and stainless construction, CNC-machined and laser-cut components, and a 10-year limited warranty on the structure.
No single brand wins on every dock. We install the right one for your configuration.
Fixed-dock cable lifts, 4,500–45,000+ lb capacity. Aluminum & stainless. 10-year limited warranty. Our default for fixed-dock builds.

Tailor the lift to your boat. We can accommodate any style of bunk for your boat.
Tell us the boat, the slip, and the dock type — we’ll size the lift, quote the install, and schedule it around your TVA permit and dock build.
The right way to size a lift is total wet weight, not dry weight. We use the manufacturer-published wet weight for your boat plus fuel, water, gear, and a 15–20% safety margin. A 5,000-lb wakeboat usually needs a 6,000-lb or 7,000-lb lift, not a 5,000.
Almost always. We assess pile spacing, water depth, and dock-deck height on a site visit, then quote a lift that mounts to your existing posts (fixed dock) or integrates into your floating sections.
If the lift is being added to an existing permitted dock, no separate permit is usually required. If we’re building the dock and lift together, the lift is included in the dock’s 26a permit. We handle either path.
Most installs finish in a single day once parts are on site. Floating PWC platforms are even faster — sometimes a few hours. Lead time on the lift itself is typically 4–8 weeks depending on brand and capacity.
Our Tennessee lakes are freshwater, but mineral content varies. We spec stainless and aluminum builds (Tide Tamer’s default) precisely because they hold up over decades in lake conditions. Galvanic protection on the motor end is included on the heavier-duty configurations.
We’ll spec a lift, quote the install, and schedule it around the rest of your dock work. One phone call gets it moving.
We’ll reach out within one business day.
