Boat Float experiences

I'm in the market for a method of keeping my son's new 32' Proline out of the (salt) water in Barnegat Bay New Jersey. Hoists or elevators currently on the market haven't impressed me yet. I am looking for advice (preferrably experiences) with the boat float products from a company called BoatFloatLLC out of Boca Raton, FL.

They're website is: http://www.boatfloatllc.com/index.html

Many thanks...Jack

Jack, unless their's issues with wakes where your son is storing the boat the best method of storing any boat is on it's own bottom, in water. The problem with out of the water storage is that the weight of the boat is being supported on a very small part of the bottom, and that's never a good thing. Now it's not too bad for a light boat, but as they get heavier, it gets woorse. By the way, I looked at the BoatUs artical on boats damaged in Florida huricanes, the boats that sustained the most damage, were stored on hoist.
