Old galvanized steel cradle was rusting away in the saltwater — so we upgraded the customer to a brand-new aluminum cradle, bunks, and guide posts.

Galvanized steel can hold up for a while, but in Southwest Florida’s saltwater it eventually breaks down. Once the coating fails, rust takes over, weakens the structure, and puts the boat (and the lift) at risk. Rather than keep risking a failure, we replaced the old steel cradle with a new aluminum one, along with fresh bunks and guide posts.

Why aluminum makes a difference here:

• It won’t rust or corrode the way galvanized steel does in saltwater
• Longer service life with far less maintenance
• Strong, lightweight, and built to keep supporting the boat safely
• Cleaner look and peace of mind every time the boat goes in or out

The customer can keep using his boat lift without worrying about the cradle failing underneath him. That’s the goal with these upgrades fix it right so it lasts.

If your boat lift cradle, bunks, or guides are showing rust or wear, let’s take a look before it becomes a bigger problem.

Tired of planning your day around the tide just to get your boat out?

We recently helped a condo owner whose slip was too shallow for her lift. The water only got deep enough at certain tides sometimes that meant launching at 2 a.m. just to get off the lift. Not a schedule anyone wants to live by.

Our fix: we removed the existing lift and set new lift pilings about 6 feet farther out, into deeper water. Same slip. Same boat. A much wider window to come and go without waiting on the tide.

If your lift sits too shallow, or you’re stuck working around low water, we can look at relocating the lift, adjusting pilings, or rebuilding the setup so the boat lives where the water actually is.

🚨 A hard reminder of why piling inspections matter

We got an emergency call FRIDAY. A customer’s 20,000 lb boat was up on the lift when the pilings gave way. Everything came down. The boat is totaled. The lift is gone.

Thankfully, everyone involved is safe. That is the only good news in this situation.

This is exactly why we push regular underwater piling inspections. Rot can hide below the waterline for years with no obvious signs from the surface. One day everything looks fine… the next day it’s not.

Don’t wait for a failure. If it’s been a while since your pilings were checked, let’s get eyes on them before a small problem turns into a catastrophic one.

Call or message us to schedule an inspection. We’re here for Cape Coral, Lee County, and the surrounding SWFL waterfront.

🚤 Almost there… and it already looks this good.

We’re wrapping up another custom dock project here in Cape Coral and the only things left are the boatlift and the customer’s canopy install.

From the water, this one’s already turning heads. Solid structure, clean lines, and that finished look that makes the whole property pop.

This is what we do:

✅ Custom docks

✅ Boat lifts & canopies

✅ Pilings, repairs & complete marine builds

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your dock, adding a lift, or finally getting that canopy up… now’s the time.
