Can I Upgrade My Boat Lift?

Boat lift upgrade post-purchase tips graphic.

“I love my lift!”

Few things are more rewarding for our team than knowing a customer loves their Hurricane Boat Lift. We recently received several questions from long-time customers about altering or upgrading their existing lift. After purchasing a new boat, some boat owners seek to keep their current, well-loved Hurricane Boat Lift instead of purchasing a new lift, but alter it with new parts.

If you’re wondering if you can upgrade your Hurricane Boat Lift, we have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that Hurricane Boat Lifts continues to improve our product lines and deliver the same great quality with updated processes and technology. The bad news is that it’s never advised to self-alter an existing boat lift. The risks far outweigh any potential benefits.

Boat owners are known for taking on DIY projects, but when it comes to installing or upgrading your boat lift, seek professional help.

Keep your boat’s safety and proper function in mind when making decisions about your boat lift. When you upgrade your boat, consult with your local Authorized Dealer to ensure your boat lift properly accommodates your vessel. Skilled, trained, and experienced technicians professionally install boat lifts in a wide range of environments, bodies of water, and for all sizes and styles of boats, yachts, and more.

If your new boat requires a boat lift with a greater capacity, different style, or different design, purchase a new boat lift instead of taking on additional risks by trying to alter your existing lift. Hurricane Boat Lifts pay for themselves within a few years of use. Due to their superior quality, industry-leading warranty, advanced style, and ease of use, the investment you make in a new Hurricane Boat Lift will pay dividends that make saying goodbye to your current boat lift easier to stomach.
