About the Area: What is a Boat Dock?
A boat dock is a wood or concrete platform that gives a boater access to a waterway. The boat dock may or may not have a boatlift attached. A boat lift resembles a forklift that picks the boat up out of the water. The lift usually comes in sizes that denote the maximum number of pounds that can be lifted. Most boatlifts are 5,000, 7,000 or 10,0000 pounds of lifting capacity. Many homes may include a boat lift behind the house to lift a boat out of the canal. Keeping your boat stored on a boat lift will help keep the bottom clear of barnacles and other marine organisms. Click here for a picture of the boat lift behind Drake Bliss home in Cape Coral.
