Looking for a little advice on a dock set up. Looking to invest into a dock in Northern Michigan. It will be in a bay, on a 400 acre inland lake and will need to be pulled out at the end of each season. There is no sea wall I’m going over, and at about 20’ out from shore the water depth is 3’ and solid ground, but at 40’ out the water depth is 5’ and mostly muck (about 3’ of muck under 5’ of water) I’d like to go out to about 30-40’ in length. Just not sure if I should go with a stationary, floating or if I could do a roll in with some type of muck matt. Not looking for any design to it, just a straight length as there will be a boat on each side.

I’m really looking for durability, convenience and low maintenance in that order. I need something that will last but that I can easily get in and out each season

Any feedback on type of dock as well as material for decking is appreciated. Thanks!
