Dock Installation and Removal.
Every year it gets harder to round up volunteers to help me with my 35' aluminum dock and my boatlift at Lake Kanasatka. I'm ready to throw in the towel and hire someone for this annual fun & games. I have a process that makes it as easy as possible for two people who are reasonably fit. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Maybe it's time to invest into a Breakwater instead ?????

A breakwater is great for keeping the waves from bouncing your boat off the dock during the summer but not much help in the winter |

2 guys, 2 hours, 2 times a year. That's all I need.

JB Dive Services, Gilford. 603-630-1968 www.jbdive.com John Baxter. Ex-military guy...very nice, very polite. His business is installing docks & moorings in the spring and removing them in the fall.
I have a 40' aluminum crank-up and a mooring and he charges $275 in Spring and $275 in Fall to install and remove. Very reasonable, in my view. |

I, and my neighbors, all have breakwaters that were specifically designed and built to protect from ice damage. All built in the early sixties, facing the broads. Little maintenance, infrequent damage from ice and we don't use bubblers.

What do neighbors with the same exposure have for docks? Their history might give a sense of direction. |
