Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
I got sunstream V-Lift. Its floating lift and doesn't require and permanent installations. I was nervous as it was a brand new product when I bought it. Its held up great and never a problem. I don't have any pics right now I can try post some if you're interested later tonight. My boat is on it in my avatar.
@Noko ........... ShoreMaster is THE GOLD STANDARD of vertical lifts.
No other company offers a comparable product line, nor stands by their warranties like ShoreMaster.
Barbie & I own two (2) vertical ShoreMaster lifts (4000 lb and 5000 lb) for the Yamaha and the Skeeter. Both of these lifts are "covered."
We aso own two (2) ShoreMaster 1200-lb Jet Ski vertical lifts.
We would not and will not own any other brand.
You'll be pleasd if you go with them.
A vertical lift is not a place where you wanna try and save a few dollars.
Hope this helps you. Best Wishes, Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA
I can't tell you. 3 items here:
A) Mine was installed several years ago.
B) The degree of difficulty in installation affects the overall price. You're buying a lift ANd then there is install. You'll get 1 price (for both items) but both parts will be incorporated into that number.
C) Each dealer sets his own prices.
Sorry I can't hrlp further ....... Just to provide you qwth some insight. Call a dealer. OR ! You can call ShareMaster and ask them who their closest dealer is to you.
ALSO: I think their website even has a "dealer finder" function.
Is 4000 pounds sufficient for a 240 series? My boat is 3500 dry weight. I don't believe that includes gas, oil, and shower. Once you add all that plus coolers, gear and people you will prob be over 4000. Go with the 5,000 lb or next one up to be safe.
Depending on what you can or can't have at dock... I have a Hydro-Hoist lift. The docks where I am don't allow Vertical lifts and all the docks are floating so much more limited on choices.
