Investing to Protect Your Dock & Boat

It's getting towards the end of the ice season (to the joy of many boaters) But I finally did some catch up reading and ran across an article of interest.

If you've bought, built or rent dock space, you know it is a real investment. If you live in many places in the country, you're probably familiar with the kind of havoc that ice can raise. I ran across a great article "Storm Proofing a Marina Can Get Very Costly" by JoAnn W. Goddard in the December issue of the boating industry magazine Trade Only. According to the article, ice causes millions of dollars in damage to docks and marinas each year.

If this article doesn't help you understand the value of investing in ice protection for your dock or boat, nothing will. Marine de-icers are definitely an investment but compare the outlay to the cost of resetting all your pilings, replacing your dock structures or any of the other imaginable.
