We have a large seasonal dock, the longest finger is 75’ long and in 2 pieces. Another 18’ section branches off and another finger bolts to that. Although aluminum, it’s huge and heavy so I leave it to the professionals. Farley does my install and removal since he built it, and I am usually one of his first installs of the season (and last removals). It’s a 3-4 person job. Luckily my neighbor had a 24’ wooden post dock that he can install himself in an hour. Last year we got his in first and I used it until mine went on. Mine is either going in this week or next.
I do miss my permanent crib dock for this reason, but we are very shallow and fully exposed to the east. Permanent docks on our side don’t last long.
