time to bust out the flock of plastic pink flamigo's and plant them along the property line.

There are actually 4 sailboats in the background. And, yes they are all in the legal action.

i just bought some property in corpus christi and have to go through the permit process and deal with deed restrictions also. i have been trying to come up with a dock / lift configurations that will meet my needs and stay within the allowed perameters.

a couple points:
1) does the deed give you how many feet in front of the bulk head you own? ie. you can build your dock out 15' , but you own up to 25'.

2) can you seperate the lift from the dock. ie. seperate piles. this helps keep the lift and dock seperate issues.

i will have to go through the same headaches i'm sure. my advantage is the home owners need the canals dredged and i'm just the man to help them solve their problems. the president of the home owner's assoc. is willing to help bend some restrictions for me if i can help with the dredging issue. make good with the people on the home owner's board. they may be able to apply pressure to your neighbor from the top down.

ps. what boat lift did you go with? i am now a dealer for golden boat lifts and wondered what you chose and why .

Damage From Wakes Of Other Boats.... Boat Can't Sink On Lift(Hole In Bellows) If Boat Sinks, Fuel, Oil, In The Water... Boat Is Harder To Steal On A Lift, Would Take Longer To Get In The Water.... I Will Keep Thinking....

Thanks for the ideas guys.

Dredgeking: I chose IMM because 1.) they had a neat looking low profile lift and 2.) the dock builder that could get the job done in a timely fashion is the local representative.

I have had only one problem with the lift; one the builders workers burned out a motor. IMM had a new motor delivered the next morning. Clearly, it was the builders problem to fix, but IMM helped by taking a pretty expensive piece off one of their in process jobs to get it out to me.

Our riparian grant is 110 feet from the bulkhead.
