Open slip docks are ideal for shorelines where boats lifts does not work. These circumstances include inadequate ground support (excessive muddy lake bottom) and either inadequate (to shallow of lake depth) or excessive water depth. The issue of inadequate water depth can cause problems related to getting the boat on or off the lift, as the lake elevation drops during the late summer, early fall. Having the lift in too deep of water may restrict the boat being far enough out of the water, or obtaining side way stability when boat is on the lift. An open slip setup is the most user-friendly way for boaters to enter or leave the mooring location. The four preset mooring lines for corner tie-up locations ensure that the boat will not contact the dock. The open slips are available in various sizes to moor any boat types, up to 48’ long. The modular, telescoping pipe framework allows for slip expansion, if the boat size and or width is changed from one year to the next.
