Bob,

Here is mine, 360 feet of dock, straight out into the river. Since this picture taken, I added a lift cover.

Actuall, today she is at Page Racing/Marine group, getting fixed.

It is actually farther than it looks. From my garage door to the water is 210ft, the dock is 360ft, so every time I go from my garage to the boat that's 570ft out, and 570ft back. One problem, of course is, I never have everything in one trip, and no matter how many tools, cleaners, rags, sponges I take out, there is always some else I need. At 1,140ft out and back, the miles rack up.

It is funny that you say that. My neighbor, (the other dock in the picture) has a gas powered ATV/quad that he runs out and back.

People ask, why such a long dock

The winter tides, can cause it to be dry 200+feet out into the river. Here is one such day, I walked out on the bottom of the river. The pilings are 10 feet apart.
