And a motorized windlass to raise the dock. Can't use concrete pads as the sand drift too much. I use the aluminmum pads provided by the foundry. You can get all materials at Boulia Gorrell lumber in Laconia. I found out later that Lowe's sell the trex boards for less.
I looked on goggle but can't find what a windlass is. I have been looking for an electric way to raise my docks. It could be my age but they seem to get heavier every year. OK its my age....
