We do not have a mooring and my husband has concerns that an aluminum dock would not be strong enough to tie a 20 foot pontoon boat against for the season.

Are these docks strong enough?
I had the same concerns before I installed mine and it has held up fine and I live on a very very windy point with 24' and 15' boats. The first winter I had some issues with the wind twisting it while it was tilted up but LRMC came back and took care of it. It turned out that the huge boulder that it was attached to at the shore was moving. The dock was fine.
