First off, any RGC lift is a top choice, because all RGC Lifts are constructed from marine-grade aluminum, guaranteed to outlast the competition and look great in the process.

- Boat size (Length, width, hull depth)
- Waterfront depth and fluctuations
- Building ordinances
- Your boat lift expectations: Speed, ease of use, maintenance
- Budget
