Thanks Dexterdoo,
Those pics are a great help! I'll be placing an order in a couple of weeks. I will be going with the light grey as well. I agree, the black is a little too much. Did you get a discount for being a site member?
Regards,

Hi,Kev, thank you for turning the site onto Hydro-turf. I finally purchsed mine this past week for my 2005 Seadoo Sportster 4 tec. I bought the light gray which matches up really well with the seats, and graphics. The stuff was simple to install with the 3m backing already in place. I will let you you know how it holds up this first season with it! thanks again for your website! Dexterdoo
I'm thinking of doing the same. I am considering the dary grey or light grey instead of the black. Do you have any pics of you boat with the light grey turf down?
Thanks in advance,
In Topic: Boat lifts/Drive-on docks...
07 April 2006 - 08:09 AM
The EZ dock system is a great concept and one I was considering. The cost of it forced me to look at other alternatives. The drive up ramp alone was around $3,500. With the basic additional sections the cost was up over 10K.I'm curious to see what kinds of boat lifts or drive-on docks you guys may be using. I purchased my Sportster SCIC a couple of weeks ago and I have been trying to do some research on docks. I have a floating dock that rides on two 8" pilings and I would like to (ideally) place a drive-on system on the opposite side of the pilings that hold my existing floating dock. In addition to finding out what docks you guys use, I'd like to know:
1. What options are out there?
2. What price range would I be looking at for some of those options?
3. Which options should I stay away from?
4. What solution is the best for the lowest cost? (I don't have much money left after purchasing the boat!!)
Really, any info at this point would be helpful.
Attn: Kevin Leclair: I noticed in some pictures in the gallery that you use an EZ-Dock? How do you like it? How much did it cost?
Thanks for all of your help!! Boat on!!
I already have in place an "L" shaped cribbed dock so I looked at purchasing a boat lift to install beside the short side of the dock. Another great concept and eazy way of keeping the boat high and dry until I returned next weekend. At $3,200 is was affordable. One major problem I discovered, the lift cannot stay in the water if it freezes up over the winter. The lift then requires a shallow sloped entry/exit area like a beach to pull out and put in the water each season. Something my property does not have.
I then looked at the marine railroad system. The cost was around $1,800 and you can easily remove the sections in the water and store for the winter. I ended up purchasing it and installed it last year. It's a litle more involved installation as you have to insure the tracks are level to each other and the rate of decent isn't to extreme. Another slight disadvantage is that getting the boat out of the water with the railroad is more of a two person job. Mine is fabricated from an apoxy coated steel. I have since seen aluminum constructed systems......this would probably be the way to go. I am happy so far with my purchase.
