Signs you need to replace your boat lift canopy cover
Your boat lift canopy is the first line of defense for protecting your boat from the elements. Keeping it in good, clean condition is important in ensuring that your boat stays properly protected. Boat lift canopies are designed to protect your watercraft and limit costly cosmetics and, in some cases, electrical and mechanical repairs.

SlipSki is proud to announce the latest option for Dorado and Dorado SS Cover owners. The all new Dorado Kayak Rack. Designed to work specifically with The Dorado model boat lift canopies. SlipSki Solutions is now offering our Kayak Rack as an optional addition to any Dorado or Dorado SS Cover.
Benefits of owning a boat canopy.
Even when hurricane season is over, your boat still needs protection from mother nature, and the best way to protect it from the elements is with a boat canopy. To keep your watercraft protected year round, we suggest a heavy duty boat canopy as they offer the best, and most effortless boat protection. Below we’ve listed a few reasons why boat lift canopies are essential in keeping your boat protected as best as possible.
Things to consider when buying a boat lift canopy.
Tired of the hassle of having to cover and uncover your boat while it’s on a lift? In the market for a boat lift canopy? Boat lift canopies offer excellent year-round protection from harmful UV rays and other elements mother nature throws at you. Boat lift covers will also keep your boat looking new and pristine throughout the year while protecting your assets and helping to maintain its resale value.
Top reasons a custom boat cover is worth the investment.
High quality covers are essential when protecting your valuable boat. Off the shelf boat covers do provide some protection, but typically fall short in both fit, function and durability. Because of this, custom boat covers are ideal for overall effectiveness and ease of use. Below we’ve outlined some of the top reasons that people choose custom boat dock covers and why.

SlipSki's boat dock covers is the perfect addition to any gulf coast boat dock who's owner is looking for a lifetime of effortless boating. Designed to protect your investment from mother nature, we've got a solution for just about every personal watercraft you'll find in Florida. From skiffs and offshore center console boats to wakeboard boats and cabin cruisers, SlipSki has a boat dock cover to keep you protected.
Kayak, SUP, And Canoe Protection
Much like boats, jet skis, skiffs and other motorized watercraft. Self-propelled watercraft like kayaks, SUP boards, and canoes need protection too. From harmful UV rays that can cause fading and cracks to inclement weather that can wreak havoc on kayaks, keeping your expensive self-propelled watercraft covered is important.
Why you need a fish cleaning station for your boat dock
With as much time as hobbyist fishermen and fishing guides spend on their boat docks cleaning fish, having a dock mounted fish cleaning station just makes sense. A sure fire way to help you stay organized and keep your dock clean, these fish cleaning and bait stations are great for anyone who spends a significant amount of time pursuing their passion for fishing.

303 Marine Protectant for Boat Surfaces
We recommend cleaning any debris off of the tarp using a high-pressure hose. If leaves, sticks, etc lay in one spot too long they can stain your tarp.
Winter boat storage and maintenance tips
Keeping your boat covered year-round is a must let alone in the wintertime. People, especially in warmer climates don’t tend to put much thought into winter boat storage as temps rarely dip below freezing. Proper winter storage and winterization of your boat can help to ensure that come spring or summer it will be running as good as when you originally stored it.
How To Winterize A Boat
Unfortunately for die-hard boaters, Summer has come and gone and with fall upon us, you should start thinking about winterizing and protecting your boat. The process of winterizing your boat is known well to all boaters, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a dreaded chore year after year. While our custom boat dock covers will protect the outside of your boat and motor from mother nature’s cruel elements.
How To Properly Maintain A Boat Year Round
Boats and other marine craft face many potential maintenance issues throughout the year. Just because your boat is in dry dock, or you are still using it daily, doesn’t mean there isn’t maintenance to be done. With knowledge of proper in-season and off-season boat care techniques, you can ensure that your boat not only lasts for years to come but also runs like a top when you go to use it.
Vacation Lakes In Texas
Summer is the perfect time for a lakeside getaway – days are long, warm and lazy, inviting you to kick back and relax surrounded by natural scenery and water views.

SlipSki Solutions Boat Dock Cover Reviews
Ed replaced my old conset boat cover with one of his newer designed Slip Skip models. Its vastly superior in every way. He put an automatic opener on it so its super convenient to get in and out of the boat. The canvas is much thicker and more durable and the overall appearance is so much cleaner. Very happy with the boat cover.
We had a low profile boat cover for 13 years. We decided to “upgrade” to the best. I loved working with these guys. Ed came over quickly and took all the measurements. He was very personable and knowledgeable. The next thing, Ed and Daniel came and took away my old cover. Ed explained the manufacturing process, gave me a delivery timeframe and stuck to it.
They just came and installed it yesterday. All done, all good. I was amazed at their experience. Daniel Built our Slipski. It’s beautiful !! Thank you.
We recently decided to replace our existing “Quonset Hut” style boat cover with Slipski Solutions Dorado model boat slip cover. We could not be more happy with that decision. Ed and Daniel were a pleasure to work with. We found them to be very knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions. The removal of our old cover and the construction of our new one went flawlessly. We are very pleased with the quality of the product. Our view of the lake has improved dramatically. If you are in need of this type of product, we would enthusiastically recommend Ed and his crew at SlipSki Soultions.
There product and professional work is above and beyond. They should be rated much more then 5 stars. They are company who goes above and beyond there word. I would recommend SlipSki to anyone. I am also happy to call them friends.
Ed and Scott traveled all then way to Long Island, NY and created a wonderful enclosure for my boat and the job was up in one day and did it in the cold. Thank you SlipSki for an out standing job.
