   It was fairly easy to decide what to talk about in this first article. The first time I looked at the EZ Dock floating dock and EZ Port personal watercraft lift system, I was amazed. The more I saw and learned about the EZ Dock and EZ Port systems, the more I couldn’t believe someone hadn’t come up with this idea before. So simple in their design, I couldn’t help but think, “Why didn’t I think of that!?”
   Constructed of low-density poly-   ethylene, the EZ Dock systems are an extremely durable alternative to conventional  wood floating docks. The tremendous puncture resistance rating along with the distinctive individual flotation chambers, make the EZ Dock reliable and stable in the water. And since there are no moving parts, the EZ Port is the fastest, simplest and easiest dry-docking system for your PWC.

   Both EZ systems incorporate a unique building-block design that allows for a wide variety of layout options. With numerous sizes of docks and lifts and  an extensive and well thought out selection of anchoring systems, EZ Dock makes it easy to customize a dock and lift system that will best fit your needs. Simply put, the EZ Dock floating dock and lift systems are an affordable option for your floater, without the splinters, warping or hot surface associated with wood. And muskrats don’t care for them nearly as well as they like the conventional flotation billets.
     Feel free to stop by and see the EZ Dock and EZ Port systems at Capps Home Building Center and be sure to ask us any questions you may have. Although we might not have the answer right away, we will get you the right answer anyway.
