Shawn,
After reading all I could find on the subject of docks, I decided to build mine based (mostly) on the one built by DonoBBD, witha few modifications. I just launched it yesterday and the rain kept me in the house until just before dark, but I managed to get about half of the decking on the gangway. I hope to get all the decking down tomorrow. I will post a series of "as built" pix within the next week or two, but here is my post launch pic.
