I remember pipe docks being pulled out of the lake bed and floating around with the boat still tied to the dock. You need good cleats on the dock and boat and strong lines for that to happen. The water was above my knees when standing on my dock. Filled garbage cans with water and put on the dock; not sure how effective that was, but no damage. In July of 1998, the entire lake was a no wake zone for a week or so as I recall.
