I've been on the lake since 2005 and do have a lift which will take the pontoon up to a level of about 468 feet. On two occasions, once in 2009 and once in 2011, the water has gotten high enoough that I had to float the boat out and tie it off. I agree that it's ok to leave it on the lift most of the time but be prepared on fairly short notice (24 hours plus or minus) after a big rain to either move the boat yourself or have someone do it for you. It usually takes about 7 inches of rain over a couple of days to cause concern. Also, Alabama Power usually does a decent job in predicting how high the water will rise. But the best solution is this...if in doubt, take the boat out.
