The first part in deciding which dock is going to suit your needs is determining what you are going to be doing with your dock. The following questions can help you in this decision:

* Do you have a boat?
* How many boats do you have?
* Are you going to want a slip with a roof for these boats?
* What size are they?
* Do you expect to spend a lot of time on your dock?
