Gulf Coast boating gets a boost as Diversified Yacht Services assembles record-size travel lift
- Diversified Yacht Services is assembling a new 150-ton variable width travel lift, expected to be the first of its size in Florida.
- The lift replaces one damaged when Hurricane Ian's salty floodwaters reached its engine compartment, causing ongoing intermittent issues.
- The variable width design lets crews narrow the lift's footprint after pulling boats out, freeing yard space for more vessel storage.
- The crew finished assembly in less than three days, beating the roughly five days expected.
