![]() I remind people who use it to always start it in reverse so you are not pushing it further on to the lift. It can be cranked down 90% of the way while standing on the dock and then the last couple of inches can be lowered after climbing on. For the winter I just take it out of the water and leave it on the dock. During the season it is located next to a dock so there is no need to get into the water. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app I don't know for sure, but my guess is that the riders I've met with floating platforms probably don't do their own work but have someone pull their docks. If the floating platform is more of a pain to pull out than a lift, I'd probably lean towards the latter. I don't know about winterization, however, which might make the final decision were I to be in a position to choose. No need to get in the water, clean their feet off, untie or crank down, etc. ![]() The friends who have floating platforms just walk out in their gear, pull the cover, get on, back off and zoom away. Other benefits of a lift are (almost) complete removal from the water for protection and cleanliness. Add to that the extra hull cleaning and need for bumper/wave protection (that never really works in even moderately rough areas) and I'd not want to tie up long-term.Ī lift would be my second choice, especially if you could use the extra dock area that would be saved, but you need to be in the water to operate a lift, making early and late-season use a bit less convenient, and, depending on the water quality on the shore, could be messy. Though it's rare, skis can develop leaks and sink. If I had a dock and could choose any option, it would probably be a floating platform. ![]() A few had lifts, a few had floating platforms, a few just tied up to docks, and a few trailered. Last summer, I hooked up with a bunch of jetski owners last year.
