I've had great luck with mooring whips....secret is...go oversize for your boat or make sure they are heavy duty and they should handle most anything. Misty Blue has a good idea too. If you place a well anchored mooring ball for the bow, you can tie the stern to your dock and still have easy access to your boat. Not too difficult, just takes a little experimenting.
Boat lifts are fine in salt water since you need to wash your boat and flush your engine after use but for fresh water, that's a lot of money to spend when there are lots of cheaper options. Good luck.
