Designed to hold medium to larger boats, a hydraulic boat lift will combine strength and the quality of marine grade aluminum to hold weights up to 10,000 pounds. here
For larger boats, elevator boat lifts are needed, and these types of lifts can lift weights ranging from 1,500 to 16,000 pounds and the pricing starts at $8,000 to $22,000.
Whether you’re keeping your boat at a marina, in your backyard or at a private pier, keeping your boat on a lift will offer a few advantages: you won’t have to worry about painting the boat’s bottom, you won’t have to worry about your boat floating away nor will you have to worry about your boat sinking.
There are add-ons you can add to your boat lift. For example, carpeted bunks, a motor stop, pontoon rack kit, and/or a pontoon stabilizer bar are just a few of the many accessories you can add to enhance its usage and appearance. here
Vertical boat lifts can cost anywhere from $6,000 to more than $20,000, depending on the boat lift and the additional features you may want to add. For example, adding a power feature could increase the price.
Aluminum Boat cradles out of Orlando has the best cradle and lift kits I've seen. Shipping cost is surprisingly reasonable.

The dock area is 36 x 20, with about a foot of overhang on each side. I did all the labor myself. I would guess $10-20k on the labor and you will get what you pay for.
I did mine for right at $10k in materials, plus $4k to bring in a big-ass trackhoe to excavate and help set the pilings. It is "overbuilt" so it can withstand the floods we get, so there is probably about $2k in material that could be cut out if you don't have to deal with floods. It has been completely underwater several times so far with no damage.
It is a sweet boathouse though. here
Holy crap Bruce that is under water. How often does that happen?

Using your Boathouse as the structure for your boatlift is without a doubt the most cost effective way to lift your boat. It is a big savings not having to purchase supporting components or a frame like comes with a Freestanding Boatlift. Don’t bother looking for Used Boathouse Lifts! Not only do Used Boathouse Lifts do not have a warranty they may be missing parts that you can not find and the cost is usually nearly the same.
For the DIY Boat House project Boat Lift Warehouse has a huge selection and inventory of Boathouse Boat lift Kits for you to choose from. Galvanized or Aluminum, Cradle or Sling, Wood Mount, or Steel you can find it here! If you don’t see what you want, just give us a call.

The main point of the cross beams was to help deal with imperfectly aligned pilings, so that I could get the headers parallel and lined up. The tops of the pilings varied in/out by 4-6" on average, with one 12" out of line. So by putting carrying beams across the middle pilings, I could attache the headers to the end pilings and let them fall where they may in the vicinity of the middle pilings. The carrying beams only had to deal with a bending moment over 12" maximum -- sort of just wide "blocks" -- so tripled-up 2x6 lumber was more than enough.
With that worked out, I put up the purlins as originally planned. Due to uplift, I wasn't comfortable with purlin joints landing on a single rafter, as that would put too many screws into a limited amount of wood. So I shifted the purlin joints to fall between rafters, resting on an additional nailer set between the rafters and tied in with a bracket. To handle the peaky pressure loads that showed up near the gable ends in the analysis, I put an extra set of short purlins between the end rafter pairs, to reduce purlin spacing to 1' there and provide additional fastener points for the metal and spread out the load. [links]
From there, I moved onto purlins, planning to use 2x4 lumber spaced 2' to accommodate loads and properly support the 26 ga metal PBR panel roof. This was the first point in the design/construction process where I began to think about uplift. For non-traditional structures, uplift design is not an easy process, and many projects will run this by an engineer for proper analysis. In this case, I was not required to get a building permit (county keeps their nose out of anything not on land, thankfully) so I was able to do the analysis myself. Unsatisfied with cookbook design, I resorted to my aerospace-engineer training to run a computational aerodynamics simulation of a gable roof. I considered designs with open and closed gable ends, and looked at wind coming at the roof over a range of angles. I found that wind coming towards the corner of the roof was a ideal worst-case-scenario to look at, with a variety of loading features of interest. Knowing the typical gusts we see from hurricanes here, I added about a 25% factor of safety and ran analysis with a wind speed of 120 mph. Here are some plots showing the computed uplift, with wind coming towards the lower left corner. Color contours indicate uplift pressure in PSF: more
