We are installing a new 3 finger crib dock. I like the crank up design but they are by no means cheap. I was quoted $24k for 2 fingers with a 24' walk in between. My 3 finger crib was far cheaper and alleviates the early/late season problems of docking. Even though you can crank up the aluminum docks it by no means makes them foolproof. I saw a few last year that were damaged on the broads, one being on the tip of Diamond. The ice built up along the shoreline and crushed it pretty badly in the air. If it gets damaged it is not easy to repair whereas a crib or piling dock can be fixed with simple hand tools and limited skills. Just my $0.02...
