7 Tips for Boating Fun on Labor Day Weekend

As we approach another BIG weekend at Lake of the Ozarks, we are noticing the increase in traffic on the streets, the longer lines at the grocery store and more check-ins at the BEST Family Friendly Resort at Lake of the Ozarks.  I can only imagine how busy the Lake waters will be this weekend!!  

With that said, we thought it would be a good time to pass along some great boating tips to help you have a fun holiday weekend.
  1. Protect your skin - be sure to use sunscreen, wear sunglasses and put on your favorite hat.  The last thing  you want to do is spend your weekend with a painful sunburn.  
  2. Drink plenty of water to help keep your body hydrated in the sun.
  3. Don't drink and operate any boat or water craft.
  4. Wear a life jacket - Last year in Missouri, 90% of people killed in a boating accident were not wearing a life jacket.
  5. Swim with friends - watch out for your friends and your friends can watch out for you!
  6. Educate yourself on Boating Laws - you can visit the Missouri Water Patrol website for more information.
  7. Understand the boat or PWC that you are using and make sure you have the proper equipment aboard.
We hope these tips will help you enjoy your day on the Lake!  Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!!

Boat Lift Maintenance Tips to help You Keep Up with the Jones'!!

Keeping up with the Jones' can be exhausting... but when it comes to your boat lift, you can have the upper hand with this little tip!!

Your boat lift will perform better if you take the time to maintain it! The rough waters of Lake of the Ozarks can really take a toll on your boat lift, so maintenance along the way is the key to extending the life of your lift.  

A bushing is on a wear point.  These are not designed to last forever.  By checking your lift to make certain that all pivot connections and bushings remain tight, you’ll extend the life of your boat lift tremendously!

If you have concerns about your boat lift, give the experts a call at 573-348-5073.

Summerset Boat Lifts offers Solutions for your Mid-Size Lifts Needs!!


Do you need a 8,000-10,000lbs boat lift? Summerset Boat Lifts can help you find the perfect lift for your dock.  

Our 8,000lb boat lifts are unique to the industry in that the structure has c-channel on the bottom of the tanks! The lower structure creates a rigid box dispensing the weight of the boat across many more load points than the competition.

The 10,000lb boat lift utilizes the same structure and mechanism as the 8,000, making this lift a very good price point. More bang for your buck, and the opportunity to grow into a bigger boat utilizing the same lift later on.

From our first few lifts in 1982, to the many new and pre-owned lifts we now sell and service each year, Summerset Boat Lifts has been there "Lifting your Dreams from canoes to cruisers"!
