Anyway we have a very shallow shoreline ..infact it is a sandbar then a shoreline ...Which has its benefits (safe for kids fun etc) but also means lift options are very limited.
this is our neighbors setup ours will be identical (they are permanant residents)

also it is a vacation home so we are not there all the time either and Is technically the River (wisconsin river about 1/2 mile before the Lake begins Lake wisconsin) so the water level can change 6-8 inches with a BIG rain
I know i could probably could do a narrow Lift but not sure how it will Look in the shallow water??
should i just beach the toon and Drive some poles deep in the ground and tie it up when we are gone??
Basically i dont want to bring the truck every weekend just to drop the boat and pull it but would like some ideas or opinions on what i should do while i am not there to make sure she doesn't float away in a big storm
also i dont want to leave it tied to the dock when we are gone because i dont want to damage the dock as well if the water levels rise too much and the weight of the boat is on it as well (just getting it this spring 100 ft Boat Docks & Piers | Aluminum Boat Docks & Aluminum Piers | Easy Install dock)
would love some opinions or input!! Thank You!!!
