Boat Docks

Marine Specialties Inc. offers the Wahoo aluminum boat dock, galvanized steel and painted steel boat docks. We tailor each of our docks to the customer’s location, intended uses and budget. If you are in search of a boat dock that you can come to the lake to enjoy and not have to worry about maintaining then the Wahoo aluminum boat dock is for you. The Wahoo aluminum boat dock is by far superior to any other boat dock on the market. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, it also is much stronger than any other aluminum boat dock out there. The Wahoo boat dock is a built with a combination of welded and bolted construction, there in making it much stronger than any “all welded” aluminum dock being built. We dare you to compare the Wahoo Aluminum boat dock to any other boat dock being built, not only is it best aluminum dock for the money, it is also the best dock for the least amount of maintenance. If you are searching for a mid-grade boat dock, you might be interested in a galvanized steel boat dock. A galvanized steel boat dock will save you a little bit of money but will require some maintenance and will begin to rust over a period of time. This type of dock is usually considered a mid-grade dock but many times comes with the price of a no maintenance aluminum dock. There are many different types of galvanized steel docks on the market, be sure that if this is something that you are interested in that you do your homework. This dock will have a longer life than that of a painted steel dock which is the least expensive dock on the market. If you are looking to save some money then a painted steel dock might be the right option for you. While the painted steel boat dock does come with a price tag much less than that of an aluminum dock it also comes with a lot of maintenance. Painted steel docks will usually start to show their age within a couple of months of being installed. Painted steel docks also usually will come with a lower grade of decking, this helps in keeping the end price low. You will save money in going the route of a painted steel boat dock but keep in mind that you will also spend a lot of time maintaining this dock when you could be spending this time enjoying the lake with your family. If you are in the market for a new boat dock and would like to understand the differences between all the options that are offered, let MSI help you in understanding the docks and what the best option is for you. We will be sure to get you into the best dock that meets your needs and do everything we can to stay within your budget.
