Help finding company in Midwest for dock parts/plans

[eddie]

I called Marine Development Inc. in Oklahoma for a dock price. They did Rick's boat yard and Dodge park slips. They want $7,832 for a 12' x 28 ' open slip U shaped dock built out of dipped galvanized w/out decking. $704.88 for sales tax. I'm looking at $10K after its over and done with. I called Tiger Docks in MO three times and they never call back. Anyone know another place I can try? I wanted steel gussets and walk way with Trex decking like they did at Ricks.

eddie try to google a dock company in Minnesota. Last year when I was at the Mpls boat show they had as many dock builders as they did boat dealers.

[Elrod62]

There's Trico, in Lake of the Ozarks, I don't have a number though.

Phone: (573) 348-2737

:mrgreen: $5,970.57 tax and 20" foam on the tie section 16" all other places. [smilie=061.gif]

Got any more ideas?

[Elrod62]

I've got some plywood and some old barrels. [smilie=291.gif]

[Dr. Jeff]

You could sink two Tige's and put a board across the rollbars! [smilie=ash]

[eddie]

I've got some plywood and some old barrels.

I'm not that cheap. Any more dock places that I can call? Tiger' are worth $30K last time I checked. I don't think $60K will save me much cash DJ.

[ASH]

DJ's boat is worth a cent and a half per pound down at Alters scrap processing with no water pump in it.

[Dr. Jeff]

NO Waterpump???
Check your facts farmboy, that Tige's got TWO waterpumps in it right now!

[smilie=101.gif] [smilie=071.gif]

So one's broken and the other one doesn't fit, but its two none the less.

Where you putting the dock? In the river or at some lake? If you can get by for under $^G's for that size dock you aren't doing too bad. I would doubt you will do any better for a new dock.

Yeah but I am, I squeeze a 29' outlaw in a 20' slip.

Kev, we have a place of Carter Lake. I'd like to have the dock in place next year.

[eddie]

Anyone heard of Krantz Docks? They gave me a great price on a kit for our lake.

[Von Bongo]

I could get you some names when I get back from vacation. $5-6K sounds like a good price from a LOTO dock company. I will spend at least that if not twice that just to refoam my dock with the encapsulated foam. Most of the new homes we finance on lake frontage there run about $25K for a 2 well encapsulated concrete dock with a roof.

I would look at a couple of docks the company has built that are a few years old to see how they are holding up. You can easily do that at LOTO.

[eddie]

I penned a deal on a dock today for a local company in Fremont, NE called Aero Tech. I guess the guy that use to own it now owns Frank and Louies at LOTO and he sold it to one of his workers.

I took a few shots of docks they have done on lakes in the Omaha area today.

[eddie]

few more

[JimmyBaja]

eddie, that first rewood dock looked really nice. Congratulations!!! Know it's going to be dock party nights, right? Be sure to include the slide. A couple Captain Morgan's and yah-hooo..... [smilie=061.gif]

Well we ordred dock from a local company and they were scheduled to deliver it on April 9, 2004. This is what I've got so far....

Ya, I'm waiting for the rest of the parts so I can put it in. He said to make it up, they would try to get it in the water for me. Have to see what happens, they tell me they have never had a problem getting parts delivered like this before.

Originaly they were just going to drop the parts off and I was going to put it in, I've been waiting three weeks for the rest of the parts.

[Money Shot]

Push UM.........Maybe get a freebie??? Or is that only a Jessie James thing? Best of luck.......Darren [smilie=657.gif]

[Griff]

eddie, don't you just love getting all your ducks in row so you can hurry up and wait and wait and wait...............

My heads were supposed to take 2-3 weeks at Charley's. It'll be 5 weeks on Tues. Good news is they "should be" done this week.

Ya, now my best help is busy in the field until June [smilie=106.gif]

[Dr. Jeff]

I'm not busy in the fields, what are you talking about! [smilie=265.gif]

[eddie]

So we get our dock delivered and they put it in the water [smilie=061.gif]

BSB came down and helped me put the green treat on. I had the dock approved by the builder that lives next door in December before I ordered it. Tonight he calls and said it looks to long [smilie=106.gif] do I want a copy of the covenants. I said no you approved it when I was over your house for the superbowl party. This is going to get interesting [smilie=249.gif]

[Triple C]

That sucks, I hope he lives up to his word. As you know Eddie, verbal contacts do hold up in court, What a [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] [smilie=450.gif] he is.

[JimmyBaja]

Looks nice eddie. Hope it turns out in your favor.

[Mellllissa]

Looks good!!!
Good Luck with that problemo! Hopefully everything will workout!

[eddie]

I have approval for 34' of dock in the water. Doug wants me to remove the walkway. I'm considering moving the middle section forward to make more of an H shape dock. I wanted the slip big enough for our boat, but who knows what year the water will be high enough for that anyway.

What are your thoughts of a H shape with a 12 x 20 slip in the middle?

[Triple C]

34 foot of dock in what water??????????????

Would that make two walk ways to the Dock????

[eddie]

Three walk ways if you want to jump on the two ends.



34 foot of dock in what water??????????????


Right, that's why I don't see why it's a big deal to pull it back to the sea wall now. You can't get into our cove anyway. Well not with a 25 Outlaw that is. :mrgreen:

[ASH]

Sounds like Doug is power tripping.


Ooops, this is Gina. Forgot to log on.

[eddie]

made some adjustments last night, took some measurments from the neighbors docks. It's in place and ready for decking! [smilie=061.gif]

[eddie]

BSB came down and helped me deck last night, we got about 1/4 of it done.

[eddie]

Dock update: BSB came down last night, I did some tonight

[SoonerJake]

Looks good Eddie. Now just need a little more water??

[eddie]

Finished product - now we just need water

[luvnlife275]

looks nice eddie. Did you plan ahead for your 30 OL to fit? [smilie=050.gif]

[cfaller]

looks great eddie!!! finished product?? i don't see any cleats to tie your boat off. :mrgreen:

[eddie]

The slip is 28 x 12 and a 30 would fit. K and I were talking about cleats last night. It's set up for a lift and I wouldn't need cleats on the inside, but they would be nice for visitors.

[cfaller]

yes, cleats are nice for visitors such as Speed Racer.....besides, they are abso****inglutely wonderful for stubbing your toes!!! :lol:
