Boat lift load worksheet
Add documented boat and carried loads in a single unit. Use the result as a question for your lift supplier. This worksheet cannot choose or approve a lift.
How we calculated this
Use kilograms for every field. Obtain each weight from boat documents, the manufacturer or a measured load. If a weight is already included in the boat figure, leave its separate field at zero.
Formula: documented boat weight plus engines, liquids and gear not already included. The calculator applies no capacity multiplier and no fuel-density assumption. It is a sum, not an engineering rule.
Source context: ShoreStation, https://www.shorestation.com/, and ShoreMaster, https://www.shoremaster.com/, fetched 2026-10-29. Their product families require model-specific selection. Ask the supplier to confirm capacity, hull support, load distribution, water depth and site suitability in writing.

Not a lift specification. Unknown loads entered as zero understate the total. A qualified supplier must confirm a safe system for the boat and site.
Questions
- Does the result give the required lift capacity?
- No. Missing loads, hull support, balance and model limits require supplier review. Do not select a lift from this sum alone.
- Should I enter dry weight or loaded weight?
- Use a documented base weight, then add only loads it excludes. Ask the boat builder to clarify what its weight figure includes.
