After moving to the Florida Keys and becoming an avid boater and amateur fisherman, I became frustrated when heading back to the dock after a long day on the water. Boat lifts are inherently slow and I found myself blocking the waterway for seemingly long durations waiting for my lift to come down. Add to that wind and currents, and sometimes these durations became a bit treacherous. I solved my problem with the Lift Mate device. Now I start my lift down while I’m entering the channel, and my lift is down by the time I’m at the house ready to pull the boat on. Since inception, we've continued to add multiple security & convenience features. My hope is others with similar issues can solve them with the Lift Mate device.” Mike Josowitz, Owner
