I think I'm missing something too. What is the difference in these docks? I've never seen them so I honestly don't know how they work. Is there someone there to help them get on or off. I completely understand and obey the handicap parking restrictions but can't imagine how this works for boats. Are they posted anywhere else on the lake? Confused
