    Yep, I remember Del Prado.  We used to go under the bridge that went under it by 28th St.  Enjoy and can't wait to see finished pictures.

    Wow, they work fast.

    I was looking at Cape Coral on google maps.  Holy cow, I've never seen so much waterfront!  It's like 200 square miles of canals and waterfront houses.  Amazing.

    1 foot at most unless we get the really high and low tides it may be 18 inches. The dock sits about 28 inches above high tide. Anything from a hurricane wont touch it either.

    @raybo3 Wow, 9 feet, that would screw-up a lot of guys where I boat on the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario with about 1 foot difference. Most docks are fixed - Geez they'd be 8 feet under water LOL.

    Nine feet!!! Wow. I am glad that I am on the river. If the Allegheny River comes up 9 feet, we are calling Noah and getting the ark ready. The only time we have issues is when we get a lot of rain. Most times it comes up 2 feet after a bad rain. It usually goes down in a week. We have floating docks, so we can still access the boats in high water.

    Full moon tides can go as much as 11 and a half feet. That is why we have very strong currents at my club.....

    Handy, I'm not sure I'd say anything from a hurricane wouldn't touch it.  My father was there when the last hurricane just turned last minute and hit port charlotte.  He was in those same canals, water was approaching his house, which is close to the height of those shown in your pictures. 

    Enjoy that new lift and dock!  Very nice!

    The water came up to about the new dock level and that was it. The PO was here for that.

    Carrie Underwood will be on site to sing the National Anthem when the boat is first lifted out of the sea as it should be. LOL

    Wow, that's some rig....and look at those blue skies! I really prefer the bunks as they are so much more supportive of the hull! It's a really professional looking job, you're sure going to love just dropping to launch. I really miss my electric boat lift! What is the wood surface of the dock. It looks like some sort of PT?

    Yes MT, PT. They still have LED lights to install, adjust the lift rails and fix the concrete seawall cap.

    The similarities between your new lift and my lift for the Salt Shaker are remarkable.  Yours will work very well.  As does mine.
