Dock Whips

i have always had my 26 ft 5000 lb boat on a lift. My dock is L shaped so I cannot tie off on both sides. i have been having trouble with my lift and am considering going to whips. I have used smaller ones for my jet skis and find them easy, cheap and simple. Its not the broads but it can get rough. I would of course make sure that I size them right. Downside to me seems to be my bottom may need to be cleaned occasionally. On the plus side I pay a lot to have lift put in and out each season. Anything else I should be aware of?
