Congratulations on the purchase of your new FLOE Boat Lift!
Like you, I enjoy many kinds of waterfront activities, and I know that to have fun I need to
keep my boat secure, protected, and accessible. Through my years of experience,
I’ve learned how boat lifts should not only protect your watercraft investment, but also be convenient and easy to use -
and I have developed them accordingly.
The fact that you purchased a FLOE boat lift tells me that you research a product thoroughly. You will nd a FLOE boat lift
has many innovative features that will ensure years of dependable service, satisfaction, and enjoyment.
Because your FLOE boat lift is engineered to lift and support a tremendous amount of weight, it is critical that you operate
it safely. Anyone who operates this lift must read the entire owner’s manual before operating the lift to make sure they are
able to operate it properly and enjoy all of its features to the fullest. See you on the water!
