MacDuff Marine Reaffirms Florida’s Exclusive QABL Aluminum Boat Lift Dealer

MacDuff Marine, the Cape Coral marine retailer that has served Southwest Florida waterfront customers for more than 15 years (per macduffmarine.com), today reaffirmed its position as Florida’s exclusive dealer for QABL aluminum boat lifts as the company enters the second half of 2026. The exclusive Florida distribution arrangement remains a defining differentiator across the company’s six-county service area.

QABL aluminum boat lifts are built in Pensacola from marine-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with sealed AO Smith motors (per macduffmarine.com). MacDuff Marine installs QABL lifts for personal watercraft, center consoles, bay boats, deck boats, pontoons, cruisers, and larger waterfront vessels.

“As we move into the back half of 2026, the exclusive Florida QABL dealer status is still the cleanest competitive line we have,” said Jay MacDuff, Owner of MacDuff Marine. “Aluminum holds up in Gulf saltwater, Florida humidity, and summer sun in a way galvanized steel does not. And when a customer in Sarasota calls us seven years from now about a motor question, we are the dealer that has the records, the parts, and the relationship.”

What MacDuff Marine’s QABL Coverage Includes

The QABL product line at MacDuff Marine, as listed on the company website, covers the full range of SW Florida vessel sizes:

• Jet ski and personal watercraft in the 10 to 13 foot range, with 1,500 to 2,500 pound capacity (or a Wave Armor PWC port as an alternative).
• Center console and bay boats in the 18 to 24 foot range, with 6,000 to 10,000 pound capacity.
• Pontoons in the 20 to 24 foot range, with 7,000 to 12,000 pound capacity.
• Cruisers and express boats in the 26 to 32 foot range, with 13,000 to 24,000 pound capacity.
• Yachts and larger vessels at 32 feet and up, with 24,000 to 40,000+ pound capacity.

These figures are starting points, not final lift specs (per macduffmarine.com). Final sizing follows a site review of the slip, dock, and vessel.

Why Exclusive Distribution Matters After the Sale

Exclusive dealer status has consequences for the customer beyond the initial purchase. Parts continuity, warranty servicing, and installation expertise all flow through a single channel. A homeowner who calls MacDuff Marine about a motor service question years after installation reaches the team that has the parts inventory, the service relationship, and the install records. The same call to an out-of-state online seller becomes a manufacturer-direct support ticket with no local service network behind it.

Warranty terms for QABL lifts vary by lift model and component. MacDuff Marine confirms current manufacturer warranty terms for the exact lift quoted before installation (per macduffmarine.com).

Summer Installation Timeline and Service Area

QABL boat lift installations at MacDuff Marine typically take two to five days after delivery (per macduffmarine.com). The company installs QABL lifts across six SW Florida counties: Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Collier, DeSoto, and Polk. The footprint spans four saltwater coastal counties and two inland freshwater counties.

Pricing Guarantee Continues Into Summer

MacDuff Marine’s $150 beat-any-estimate pricing guarantee remains in effect on QABL aluminum boat lift quotes. If a customer has a written estimate from a licensed Florida marine contractor on the same scope of work and equivalent equipment, MacDuff Marine will beat the bottom line by $150 (per macduffmarine.com).
