Built for Larger PWCs and Changing Water Levels
The ShoreMaster 1296 Vertical PWC Lift is designed for waterfront owners who want more width, more protection, and a premium lift setup for their personal watercraft. With a 1,200 lb lifting capacity and a 96" inside width, the 1296 is a strong fit for many larger Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner, Kawasaki Jet Ski, and other high-end PWC models when the fully loaded weight stays within the lift rating.
Unlike lower-profile storage options, this vertical PWC lift raises your watercraft up and out of the water to help reduce hull exposure, waterline staining, algae growth, and day-to-day dock wear. The vertical lift design also makes it a practical option for shorelines where water levels fluctuate during the season.
Wide 96" Inside Width
The 1296 model gives you significantly more inside width than ShoreMaster’s narrower PWC lift models, making it a smart choice for larger hulls or customers who want more room around the craft during loading and storage. If you are comparing the 1264 and 1296, the 1296 is the model to look at when width and canopy coverage are priorities.
Welded Aluminum Construction
The ShoreMaster 1296 is built with a welded aluminum frame designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and low seasonal maintenance. Stainless and brass hardware components help the lift perform smoothly while reducing rust concerns over time.
Easy Side Access with V-Side Design
ShoreMaster’s V-side frame design makes boarding and dismounting easier from the side of the lift. That is especially useful when the lift is installed beside a dock, seawall, or walking platform where quick access matters.
Important Fitment Note
Always confirm the fully loaded weight of your PWC before ordering. The total lifted weight includes the watercraft, fuel, battery, accessories, and any gear stored on board. Do not exceed the lift’s 1,200 lb capacity.
Carpeted bunks are required and sold separately. Choose the appropriate 8' or 11' carpeted bunk set based on your PWC length, hull shape, and support needs.
