What kind of shoreline do you have? Natural or some sort of bulkhead? Might want to do some sort of sling instead. Totally out of the water removes some issues. Only be launch able/retrievable at the appropriate tide level, though.

We are trying to get permits for stone steps. The bottom one will be inset into the bank so there will be encroachment to the beach. It will be interesting to see the regulator's comments.

We have a gill net out front for the first time since we've been here, that I've seen.
