Default ? about JetDocks

Does anybody have of know anything about them? Where our boat sits the bottom is mucky and really shallow at the bow but get's to about 3 foot deep or deeper at the stern and wondered how well they work.

I've got one for the DCB. The bow part of jetdock doesn't need much clearance all all. It's the stern where you drive on that may or may not be an issue. Ask for Shaun at Jetdock. He can answer your water depth questions.

are you thinking of sticking the bow of your boat on one? or parking a ski in your slip next to the boat?

I'll be parking our boat on it we have a Baja 275. I was looking at their site and think I need the one that said 27 to 30 foot. I field out the form so I'll see if they respond. I didn't see anything about where they have dealers but didn't see anything. I live in northern part of Indiana. Is Shaun their salesman? Thanks for your help.

I got an email of a sale on the Jet Dock. As an example a universal one for a 22 foot boat was $8500 ( normally $10,000). But the sale ends today the 28th.

I know a few years ago when I checked on the price of one of these for a 34 foot boat the Jet Dock cost almost as much as the boat was worth.

Thanks for the info. That's more then I was hoping they might be. I was hoping they would be cheaper then a regular boat lift.

Had a sport dock for my ski's, didn't work too good in salt water, with it sitting on the doc, hard shell marine growth grew in the areas where it would slide up at the bow, could not reach it to clean it with Ski on dock unless swimming. Have to swim with scraper PRIOR to trying to slide ski off. Otherwise it would severely scratch the hull. I didn't realize this at first, soft algae covered hard shell growth. I came in from a ride and immediately "drove up" on the dock, as it started the slide on, heard the "scratching noise", now have nice digs on the hull at the bow. Perhaps other brands don't do this, for me it was sickening, made me want to blame them all. Also hard to slide off if all the way on, if not all the way on, then part of the ski still touching the water.

Now use it as a work platform for the boat.

Airdock is an inexpensive solution.
Works in shallow water.
