Looking at the big, high prices ....
www.bmp-inc.com/Pricing .... for a new, aluminum dock, it sure 'nough makes good sense to be fixing and fixing and fixing that old dock forever ..... till it has more fixes in it .... than what is was, when it was new .... way back when.
Old docks never die .... they just get re-used by some poor slob .... who cannot afford a new dock ..... and needs a dock!
