In my recent journeys I noticed nearly all the folks living on the water had lifts that jacked the boat clean out of the water in some cases like 5 feet above the surface. I know they have a longer season but I was wondering, why we don't see them up here? I would think that for those lucky enough to live on the water with a dock... you could keep your boat on the lift year round even here and avoid all the storm effects, bottom paint, electrolysis, ice, etc associated with sitting in salt water. Question...why don't we do this here?
