Glad to see you got your land, your pier, and now your lift all set!
My ex fiances parent's have a place on Catfish lake just beyond where the flow of traffic goes to the channel to cranberry. I spent many summers up there in a boat and on the jet skiis. I never thought it was that bad, certainly nothing like a saturday or sunday down here in SE WI on Big Cedar lake. That is insane. So crazy I won't even go wakeboarding until all the people go in for lunch or dinner. Bass lake is nice and quiet though. I'm looking forward to getting a lift at some point for my CC on Lake Mohawksin in Tomahawk. But yeah, prices for lifts have gotten really crazy in recent years, maybe making up for lack of sales quantity with price jacking. As far as the shovel and hat thing, I saw the post a while back, but not all the rest of the responses. I've seen a few of these shovels and hats around at CC dealers. I don't think most were actually used for ground breaking. These were more of a promotional item sent by CC to dealers. Ppayleitner ( the guy saying he has the same shovel for 1000) might be able to chime in as his CC dealer is where I got my martinique from and had been a CC dealer for a long time. |

I have an Ozark boat lift.
Somewhat unique in that the front is attached to the dock and the rear sinks down in the water when the air is released. It's essentially like a trailer attached to the dock. Love it. http://www.lakelandindustries.net/lifts.html |

I like my aluminum Shore Station dock. I would look at one and their competitors before committing to building one. I have had mine about 7 years and it looks like new. It is easy to adjust the height to level it periodically as the legs shift slightly on the sand.

Linda,
A lot depends on the area you live in and what's available. Pre made sectionals are nice but can be pricey. Where I am at in northern Wisconsin, the preferred is a locally made white Cedar sectional pier. |

The fact that a bum like me owns one indicates that they are not that expensive. |

I decked my permanent dock in IPE. Weather proof, sun proof, warp proof, never mildew, root proof. And man, does it look good. I decked it in 2 x 6 planks, which was likely a bit much. 5/4 board would have been more than adequate. Should last to the next ice-age.
