MODULAR DOCK needed ASAP ! ! !

[JamesG]

I need buy, lease, or borrow a modular dock ASAP. It needs to be cheap...new or used is ok.

Some brands are Versadock, JetDock, Jetfloat, Magicfloat, Candock, Dockmarine, Cubisystem, and Airfloat.

I just need it for a few months between now and April 1st. It needs to be delivered to Cabo San Lucus, in Baja, Mexico by the END OF FEBRUARY at the latest. Ideally, the dock would come from someplace close to Cabo San Lucus to keep shipping costs down and because there isn't much time.

I need at least 1000 cubes to make a decent sized platform. This many cubes means I can have a platform that is roughly 75'X30'.

I thought THIS was gonna work out great, but I made a miscalculation and realized I need more like 1000 cubes and for as cheap as possible.

Maybe there is a jet ski/boat rental business or marina that is selling thier old dock. or perhaps someone is going out of business and needs to sell their dock. Is there a place where i can find these docks for sale? I searched Craigslsit across the whole USA and only found the above link to ebay.

I almost wonder if i can get it manufactured for cheaper myself, but then i might run into licensing/patent issues with the manufactures. I'm only going to use the dock for a few months, but it will be for commercial purposes.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks,
James

James,

Did you try Ebay?

If you don't have any luck, just send me $100 000 money order and I'll be right over to help you out my friend.

Geese Tom I'd weld him up one for $50,000. But all jesting aside exactly what are you trying to use it for?

In every other port worldwide you can rent a simple transport barge for pennies!

like this one:

[Submarine Tom]

That sounds about right JLIMA, $50K, so, it'd be about $100K by the time your done.

Don't forget, it has to be up and operating by 30 February or sooner.

No problem.

Kalu,

I looked in the yellow pages online and in the actual book, but didn't have much luck. Maybe there a just very few places. I looked in the san diego yellow pages.

If I do find a place, how much do you think it will cost to rent a barge?

I´m not Kalu! I meant kaluvic!

San Diego for sure has barges to rent! But I cannot estimate the cost in the US. I am from Hamburg! The one and only Hamburg!

They didn't have the plastic modular barges.
