Spring Showcase - Shorestation

In 1954, Ida Grove Iowa local, Byron Godbersen, decided that hand-bombing grain from silos was too pain staking, dangerous and inefficent. After iteration after iteration, he eventually created the first functional “Bolster Lift”, a hydrolic system that was used to tilt large grain bins for easy and quick unloading. After the unexpectedly and fantastically successful product was lauched Bryson Godbersen eventually became the founder of Midwest Indsutries Inc, A company that whent on to create an entire line of farm equipment used across he midwest and Canada. Building off his first sucessful hydroic lift, Mr Godbersen took his innovation skills to the world of watercrafts, creating his first ever hydrolic boat lift in 1959. He engineered it to work smarter than other boat lifts, but, he also decided to go above and beyond – he over-built it. Heavier materials, stronger winches, better cables. Although at the timeit was seen as impractical, much like us here at Recreational Power Sports, Byron believed that weekends at the lake should be spent relaxing with the family, not fixing broken equipment. Eventually this idelogy caught on, and casued Byron to found Shorestation. His bost lift system became so popular that he pivoted his entire production to exclusvily build Shorestation boats lifts. Now, 60 years after his first hydrolic lift was developed, Shorestation has continued Byron Godbersens legacy by continuing to embody his mission to create long lasting, beautiful boat lifts, so that customers can spend more time enjoying the lake with confidence.
