New Poly Dock Size Suggestion

March 25, 2009
A very experienced profesional in the waterfront equipment industry suggested that we also consider a 61.5" wide Poly Dock because it would allow to 5' wide Poly Dock sections to be connected perpendicular to a 10' side. I think he is on to something there. Hence, we've added that size to the poll, so cast your vote now!
