MacDuff Marine, the Cape Coral marine retailer that has served Southwest Florida waterfront customers for more than 15 years, today confirmed its position as Florida’s exclusive dealer for QABL aluminum boat lifts. The exclusive Florida distribution arrangement is now stated in multiple places on the company’s website and across its product positioning.

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, and every QABL lift the company installs carries a 15-year warranty.

“We have been the exclusive Florida dealer for QABL for years, and the product has earned that position one waterfront at a time,” said Jay MacDuff, Owner of MacDuff Marine. “Aluminum holds up against Gulf saltwater, sun, and humidity in a way galvanized steel does not. The fifteen-year warranty number is what we can stand behind because we know what we sold, who we sold it to, and how it was installed.”

What Exclusive Florida QABL Distribution Covers

MacDuff Marine’s QABL line, as listed on the company website, serves the full range of SW Florida vessel types:

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 large vessels 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 is determined after a site review of the slip, dock, and vessel.

Why Exclusive Distribution Matters for the Owner

Exclusive dealer status has practical 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 replacement seven 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.

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 service area spans four saltwater coastal counties and two inland freshwater counties.

Pricing

MacDuff Marine’s $150 beat-any-estimate pricing guarantee applies to QABL aluminum boat lift quotes. If a customer already 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).
