Boat storage: Golden Enhances Its Elevator Lift

Golden Elevator Lift

The Elevator Lift is the solution for owners who want the benefits of out-of-water boat storage, but either can’t have or don’t want piles installed on their waterfront. And with recent engineering enhancements, the lift has new configurations and capacities that make it even more adaptable for everything from a PWC to an offshore sportfish boat.

The Elevator Lift is the solution for owners who want the benefits of out-of-water boat storage, but either can’t have or don’t want piles installed on their waterfront. And with recent engineering enhancements, the lift has new configurations and capacities that make it even more adaptable for everything from a PWC to an offshore sportfish boat.

The Golden Elevator Lift installs on seawalls, embankments or concrete piers, as well as on shoreline wood and steel piles. The lift is manufactured for both the specific location requirements—such as length of travel and angle of installation—as well as the boat itself. Depending on the overall and distributed weight of the vessel, the lift can have a single, two or four tracks. The enhancements include dual-track 24,000 and 27,000 lb. capacity models and a new four-track, 60,000 lb. version.

Golden manufactures the CE-approved Elevator Lift to ISO 9001:2015 standards using only fully welded 6061 T6 marine grade aluminum with 300 series stainless steel fittings and sacrificial zinc anodes. A robust box construction mates the track beam and drive connection. Heavy-duty UV-rated Nylatron wheels on stainless equalizer brackets provide exceptionally smooth operation, especially with heavier vessels.

Important for a vessel of any weight, custom bunking on the Elevator Lift ensures the hull is fully supported and doesn’t cause strain. Carpeted wood or optional aluminum bunks installer-adjust to accommodate a wide range of shapes such as deep-V, steps and/or strakes, as well as inboard and outboard power. A video is here:

Bennington 22 MSB

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
