If you can show need, 50' is not an issue.

You need to contact a professional have them come out and evaluate your situation. Only then could you get an idea of cost and layout.

The sky is really the limit. A client of mine that just had the surface of the dock replaced a few years ago has a 53' crib dock with a 12' x 8' end platform, a 8' by 16' platform attached to the crib with a 16' finger dock off that platform. It is basically a u shaped dock that averages 7' wide on all surfaces.

That dock cost more than most folks homes, but when you have 1600' of frontage with two homes, tennis court and 2 large garages, cost is not a question that generally comes up!

Just to give you an idea of what is possible, at that point personally I would just build a boathouse.
