Dockmaster Report: Scotty Yates on the Boat Dock Wait List, there are over 60 on PB List and 10 on SB list. Dock Rules are available, and they may undergo a revision this year. The Maximum Boat length is 23’, width 8.5’. If a dock becomes available boats 12-18’ in length may get a dock quicker depending on which dock is open.
