Saw that. Nice strong 454 engine. Looks like it's in great shape. If money isn't a concern, that's a great cla$$ic to grab. Very clean looking from what I can see.

This may be a stupid question, but why do you pull out your docks? Is it just in the north because your lake freezes? It also seems the pics I see from the northern areas that a lot of the docks sit on the bottom where around here (Atlanta) they use floating docks. Is that a regional thing, depends on how much the lake levels change, or just personal preference?

Docks come out up here because when the ice that would form around them breaks up at the end of the season it has no problem destroying them or taking them away I have seen people wait too long to pull the boat and hoist out and end up with an upside down hoist and boat about a hundred yards out (it was a nice welded aluminum fishing boat, I offered to float it back up for him but he woudlnt even talk about it).
Floating docks are often used where the water level changes signficantly or even daily with the tides, or where its too deep or mucky to use poles I have two out of three docks still in the water.. the only thing worse than pulling them out too early is leaving them in too long and having to do it as the snow falls (2 feet last night down the road from me in buffalo) |

Docks also come out so you don't have to worry about a person on a sled taking himself out.

Joe's right, unless your dock is made of solid concrete or something, it would get absolutely demolished by the ice. I personally dont like floating docks...I get a bit woozy when the waves roll in.

Here are a couple examples of why we have to take docks out in winter. Ice can be a pretty formidable force. Many docks are lost if you don't take proper precautions. These are at and near my sisters house in upstate NY. The first one is a mountain of crushed ice that was pushed up onto shore.

Ok, Atlanta is looking pretty good. It is supposed to be around 80 here today. No ice on the docks here!

Amazing pictures. Did that house in the background on the second picture survive?
I havent seen the ice break that violently on my lake. However, its easily enough to rip the dock out in a snap. |

SkiCat, I agree with you, the only ice we have on our docks is in a gla$$ surrounded by "brown water". Guess that's what keeps us from freezing!
