I also have the same sized 12x16 floating pier supported with the same numbers of barrels. And after four years I need to replace a couple that have started leaking a little. Plans are to lift up one side at a time using the front end loader on the tractor. I will be keeping the barrels instead of the floats mentioned because of the 13 to 1500 dollar cost. Hay! I am tight with money on some things and not so much on other things lol. I also experienced some list to one side when I added the gangway. To counter the list I added a 5 gal bucket with 50 lbs of quikcrete as a anchor. I attached to a boat cleat that I added to the pier on the opposite side of the pier, where I was able to adjust the counter weight anchor. Not perfect but it did help.

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
