nothing near 12 foot. 4-5 is right. Go up to the upper peninsula in November or December and see a real 12 footer. Incredible.

small
My understanding is Ameren has limited dock slips to 65' long, and boats can only stick out 5 feet. So, effectively limiting the LOA of boats to about 70' on LOTO. Now, I don't know about uncovered docks, or using the end of docks which could be much longer, and expect someone will figure out a way around the unofficial length limit set by Ameren's dock policy.

The largest private dock slip allowed by AMEREN is 55'. There are larger ones that a grandfathered in. Marinas with more than 12 slips can have larger slips, but they must be approved by FERC. This is from my wife who is a LOTO Realtor.
