Hello! I’m new here. Just bought my first jet boat. I’ve been looking at them for years and bought a used SX190.

I live in MA on a brackish river that goes out to Buzzards Bay. If I get approval from the board of the dock I will get a boat lift. I could use some recommendations. I’m leaning towards Safe Haven.

Our tides go very high and low here. Sometimes the water is above the wharf and as low as two feet. No power available. Somewhat limited budget. Also, please let me know if you have any experience leaving the lift at the dock/wharf through New England winters.

Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

I used to keep my 190 on a Hewitt 3800 Hi-Lift. Lots of lifting range on it, and never had an issue with it.
Probably too much lift capacity for the boat, but I had bought it when I had an SX210.
I'm on Lake St. Clair, so I was able to lift pretty high for when it got rough.
Upgraded a few years ago to a permanent dock and lift, so I've since sold my Hewitt.
